Queen Letizia and King Felipe of Spain’s daughters are going to Switzerland. Princess Leonor, 19, and Infanta Sofia, 18, are set to attend the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 final on Sunday, July 27. The royal siblings will be on hand to support Spain’s women’s team as they face England at St. Jakob-Park in Basel. Leonor and Sofia’s sister trip follows their visits with their parents to Girona and Barcelona for the 2025 Princesa De Girona Foundation Awards.
Prince William, who reunited with Leonor and Sofia’s father at Wimbledon earlier this month, will also be traveling to Switzerland for the match. The future King celebrated the Lionesses making it to the finals this week. “Brilliant performance @Lionesses! One game from glory! #WEURO2025,” the Waleses’ X account posted.
William is an avid soccer fan and patron of the Football Association. Ahead of the Women’s Euros, William visited the Lionesses at St. George’s Park. Alongside footage from the Prince’s visit in June, the Waleses’ Instagram account penned, “Best of luck to the Lionesses at the Women’s Euros. Take pride in all that’s been achieved and believe in bringing home the win!”

Following the team’s success in the semi-final on Tuesday, the British monarch sent a message to England Women’s head coach Sarina Wiegman and the team. “My wife and I join all our family in wishing you, the proud Lionesses, our warmest congratulations on reaching the final of the U.E.F.A EURO tournament,” His Majesty said. “Your journey to this stage has been nothing short of remarkable, showcasing the skill, determination (and test of nerve!) for which your team is so rightly celebrated. Knowing the Lionesses’ fighting spirit, I suspect we are in for another thrilling encounter on Sunday.”
“Your achievements continue to inspire countless girls and women across the nation, proving once again that with dedication and teamwork, anything is possible,” the King continued. “Good luck, England. May you roar to victory once more.”
