Sat Jul 12 19:40:00 UTC 2025: **Headline: England and Wales Clash in High-Stakes Euro 2025 Showdown**
**St. Gallen, Switzerland** – Defending champions England face off against tournament debutants Wales in a crucial Euro 2025 Group D match on Sunday at Arena St Gallen. Kickoff is scheduled for 20:00 BST. The game will be broadcast on BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru, and BBC Sounds, with live text updates on the BBC Sport website and app.
England, ranked 25 places higher than Wales, need a win to guarantee their place in the quarter-finals. Wales, while facing an uphill battle, are hoping to cause a major upset and potentially secure their own spot in the knockout stages, requiring a high-scoring victory.
Fans have descended upon St. Gallen, buzzing with anticipation for this historic rivalry. England have dominated previous encounters, never losing to Wales in 10 meetings. However, Wales are determined to rewrite history and secure their first-ever win against a top-10 nation.
Despite the high stakes, England defender Alex Greenwood insists it’s “just another game,” focusing on the task at hand. Meanwhile, Wales captain Angharad James and manager Rhian Wilkinson believe the pressure is firmly on England, stating they have nothing to lose.
The Lionesses are coming off a dominant 4-0 win against the Netherlands after a surprising opening defeat to France. Wales, under Wilkinson’s leadership, are eager to “spoil the party” and showcase what they can achieve. The game also has a personal element, as James is married to England international Amy James-Turner, who she says will be supporting Wales.
