Women's EURO 2022 - 4th August 2022

England have won the 2022 EURO football championship. They beat Germany 2-1 for the women's tournament prize at Wembley stadium. This historic location had seen the men's team beat Germany in the 1966 World Cup final. That match was precisely 56 years ago.

England's women's team is called 'the Lionesses'. Over 87,000 spectators filled the stadium for their first championship win.

The teams drew 1-1 after 90 minutes. But during extra time, England's Chloe Kelly found the space to make it 2-1. This delighted England fans.

Ehis Idiake: "Amazing. The women were awesome, like great football. Great end to end entertainment. And we won so yes! Come on England!"

Pauline Braham: "To just, you know, be in this stadium, and see it full. And to see the journey that has taken place for women's football – and the respect that I think now they need to put on it, on its name."

England calls itself 'the home of football' and fans love singing "Football's coming home". Over 50 years since 1966, the Lionesses have finally brought football 'home'.

The effect on girls' sports is important. Charlie Bunting brought daughter Harriet, who's only 5, to the final.

Charlie Bunting: "Yeah, I said to Harriet in the ground, she's got to, she's got to do all she can to try and remember this. Coz, I said the last time England won a tournament was when Nanny was born, which was a long time ago. So yeah, she's got to remember this for as long as you can. Because it's very, very special."

The result didn't please everyone. The referee refused Germany's request for a penalty in the first half. We'll never know if that decision changed the result.

Germany's disappointed fans were pleased with their team's performance.

Jonna Brengel: "Bit disappointing about the result in the end. But I think we can be proud of the team and the performance from the all tournament. And yeah, I think that it's a right step in the direction and all people in Germany can be proud."

Caroline Schoeyo: "I mean, obviously I'm a bit disappointed. ['Come on England'] Yeah, obviously, I'm a bit disappointed, but it is what it is."
