Spain have won the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand after defeating England 1-0 in the final at Stadium Australia in Sydney.

Jorge Vilda's side finished second best to European champions England at the quarter-final stage of UEFA Women's EURO 2022, but it was a different story this time around as Olga Carmona hit the winning goal on 29 minutes.

Jennifer Hermoso later had a penalty saved by England goalkeeper Mary Earps, but it did not matter as Spain held on to clinch their first senior women's title – and become Europe's third world champions after Norway (1995) and Germany (2003, 2007).

The finalists were two of 12 European sides to take part in the first finals since the expansion from 24 to 32 teams. The tournament kicked off on 20 July and the group stage ended on 3 August, with the top two in each section progressing to the round of 16, which began two days later.
