Women's Nations League News

Leah Williamson and Lotte Wubben-Moy reflect on England losing the likes of Mary Earps and Fran Kirby ahead of the Euros.

In an exclusive interview with ESPN, Fran Kirby said she has retired from international football in order to "prolong" her own career.

Clàudia Pina staked a claim to a starting role in the Spain squad ahead of the Euros, scoring two goals as a substitute in a comeback win vs. England.

Spain's Clàudia Pina came off the bench and scored twice as the reigning Nations League champions came back from a goal down to beat England 2-1.

Spain and England face off on Tuesday for a place in the UEFA Women's Nations League final four.
