Ukraine vs England
England will begin their qualification campaign for the 2027 Women’s World Cup tonight against Ukraine.
They will face the defending champions in their qualifying group, a clash that will surely be pivotal in deciding who secures top spot and thus an automatic berth to the tournament finals, but Wiegman’s side will be keen to avoid any early slip-ups against tonight’s opponents.
