Sisters Leonor and Sofia de Borbón have decided to join in the excitement surrounding women’s soccer and will travel to Basel, Switzerland, this Sunday to watch the Euro 2025 final.
Representing the Spanish Royal Family, the Princess of Asturias and the Infanta will accompany the women’s national team, which will face England at St. Jakob-Park stadium.

The visit was confirmed by the Royal Family itself and celebrated by the team’s official account, which shared a photo of the young women holding the team’s number 10 jerseys.
On the British side, Prince William will also be present to cheer on the Lionesses. He had already attended the semifinal in Zurich, where England convincingly defeated the Netherlands 4-0.
William’s presence has become almost a superstition for fans, who have not hesitated to call him their “lucky charm” on social media.
The heir to the British throne, in addition to being a football fan, is a patron of the English Football Association.
This time, it seems that he has taken note of the criticism he received last year for not attending the Women’s World Cup final, when England lost to Spain.
On that occasion, Queen Letizia traveled with Infanta Sofia to Australia to support her team in person, a gesture that was highly appreciated both in Spain and abroad.
William, on the other hand, chose to send a recorded message with Princess Charlotte, which many considered insufficient.
The final between Spain and England promises to be an exciting match both on and off the field. With prominent members of both royal families in the stands, the event becomes a symbolic show of institutional support for women’s sports.
