England’s Lionesses will face-off against Spain for Woman’s World Cup glory this morning (Sunday, August 20), with the whole country hoping they roar to victory.

Thousands of Islanders will be celebrating if they beat Spain at the 83,000-capacity Stadium Australia in Sydney and make England world champions for the first time since the men’s triumphant victory in 1966.

Supporters are expected to head to pubs and bars for the 11am kick-off, with coverage underway from 9.45am on BBC One.

England's skipper Millie Bright said the Lionesses must play the “game of our lives” to be crowned world champion.

“I think it’s been players’ dreams for years,” the 29-year-old defender said.

“We know how passionate our nation is back home and how much they want us to win. We need to play the game of our lives.”

Manager Sarina Wiegman, who led England to glory at the European Championships last summer, hailed the levels of support ahead of the final as “incredible”.

“We felt the support, we felt the support here, but also from the other side of the world in the UK,” she said.

“That’s something that we dream of.”

England’s semi-final victory over Australia on Wednesday (August 16) was the most-watched game of the tournament – totalling 7.3 million fans on BBC One – but the final is expected to be viewed by millions more.
