The Spain women's national football team, officially known as the Spain national football team (Spanish: Selección Española de Fútbol),[3] has represented Spain in international women's football competitions since 1980. It is governed by the Royal Spanish Football Federation, the governing body for football in Spain.
Spain are the reigning and one of five national teams to have been crowned world champions, having qualified three times for the FIFA Women's World Cup and winning the title in 2023. They are one of only two countries alongside Germany, to have won both women's and men's World Cups.[4] Spain became the first nation in the women's game to be the world champions in all three categories (U-17, U-20 and senior level) at the same time.[5]
At continental level, Spain won the first edition of the UEFA Women's Nations League in 2024, becoming the first nation to win both women's and men's competitions.[6][7] They also have qualified five times for the UEFA Women's Championship, reaching the semi-finals in 1997.[8]
