Spain won its first Women’s World Cup title, beating England 1-0 in the final on Sunday, August 20, 2023.

It was a historic achievement for Spain, which had never reached the final before and had faced a near-mutiny by players last year over the management of coach Jorge Vilda.

Spain showed its bold and brilliant style of play throughout the tournament, overcoming a 4-0 loss to Japan in the group stage and defeating Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Sweden in the knockout rounds.

Spain’s Olga Carmona scored the only goal of the final in the 23rd minute, with a stunning volley from outside the box that left England goalkeeper Mary Earps helpless.

England tried to equalize, but Spain’s defense and goalkeeper Cata Coll held firm, denying Lauren Hemp’s header that hit the crossbar and saving Jennifer Hermoso’s penalty in the second half.

Spain became the fifth winner in nine editions of the Women’s World Cup, joining Germany as the only two nations to win men’s and women’s titles.
