England will look to defend their European title when they get their campaign started against France on July 5 in Zurich, the same day Wales kick off their first major tournament against the Netherlands in Lucerne.
Here, the PA news agency picks out some of the players to watch after the 2025 Women鈥檚 Euros get started in Switzerland with the Iceland v Finland tournament opener on July 2.
Hannah Hampton (England)
The Chelsea goalkeeper enters her first major tournament as England鈥檚 number one with the weight of a nation鈥檚 expectations on her shoulders, but insists she will shrug off the pressure.
Hampton, 24, was already edging out Euro 2022 winner and fan favourite Mary Earps as Sarina Wiegman鈥檚 first choice between the sticks, but after the latter鈥檚 shock international retirement last month she now finds herself, with 15 caps, the only Lionesses keeper in Switzerland to have won any.
Hampton has said she is aiming to live up to Earps鈥 legacy, but has the opportunity to forge one entirely of her own this summer.
Carrie Jones (Wales)
Midfielder Jones inked her name in Wales鈥 history books when she scored the second goal 鈥 and ultimate winner 鈥 in their 2-1 victory over the Republic of Ireland to book her side a place in their first major tournament.
Though just 21, the former Manchester United midfielder, who now plays for Swedish side Norrkoping, has six years of Wales experience under her belt already, having made her international debut at age 15.
Aitana Bonmati (Spain)
World Cup holders Spain are the bookmakers鈥 favourites to unseat England in Switzerland.
They are stacked with talent, but Barcelona midfielder Bonmati, also among the side鈥檚 strongest leaders, still stands out.
The 27-year-old鈥檚 awards speak for themselves 鈥 Bonmati, named player of the tournament at the 2023 World Cup, also claimed both the Ballon d鈥橭r and FIFA Best women鈥檚 player awards two years in a row and was named Laureus sportswoman of the year in 2024.
Sydney Schertenleib (Switzerland)
If the tournament hosts are looking for a breakout star, Bonmati鈥檚 18-year-old Barcelona team-mate Schertenleib could well be the one.
The Zurich-born midfielder stood out at Swiss sides FC Zurich and Grasshopper before joining the Liga F champions 鈥 who secured a sixth straight title this season 鈥 last summer, and scored a memorable goal against Wolfsburg in the Champions League.
Schertenleib recently revealed to Swiss media that she and fellow Barcelona teenage sensation Lamine Yamal bonded at a photo shoot and have 鈥渟upported each other a bit鈥 since.
Sandy Baltimore (France)
Chelsea鈥檚 Baltimore appears to be heating up at just the right time as France look to take it at least one step further and qualify for their first final at the Euros, having reached the semifinals for the first time in 2022.
Billed by the Blues as a left winger/left-back, the 25-year-old played a more advanced role in May, when she scored twice, including a penalty, in Chelsea鈥檚 3-0 FA Cup final victory, and also netted in five of France鈥檚 six Nations League meetings.
