2022 UEFA Women's European Championship Final

England's Lionesses stand on the brink of women's football history as they take on Germany in the European Championship final at Wembley on Sunday.

Victory would be both the first major trophy for the England women's team and the first football honour for the nation since the men's 1966 World Cup win.

But standing in the way again are Germany, who have won the competition eight times. They beat England 6-2 in the final of Euro 2009, the last time they played each other at the tournament.

England have won just two of 27 meetings against Germany - though one of those came in their most recent meeting, in February.

England have lost more games (21) against the Germans than any other side, while they have been on the losing end in all four meetings at previous European Championships.

These Euros have smashed every attendance record going.

Before the final, the total tournament attendance of 487,683 is more than the previous record for a European Women's Championship. In fact, the previous landmark of 240,055 was passed in the group stages.

The tournament opener at Old Trafford broke the individual attendance record for the Women's Euros, with 68,871 at Old Trafford.

The final is likely to go even further and take the record for the men's or women's Euros. The men's 1964 final between Spain and the Soviet Union was watched by 79,115 at the Bernabeu. Last year's Euro 2020 final between England men and Italy was restricted to 67,173 amid Covid restrictions.
