Their male counterparts will be hoping for another victory as they take on Denmark at the Euros on Thursday.
And while all eyes are on the England men’s squad, the Lionesses have swapped football boots for stilettos at Chloe Kelly’s raucous Ibiza hen do.
Manchester City captain Steph Houghton, 36, was joined by teammate Demi Stokes, 32, to celebrate Ms Kelly’s forthcoming wedding to Scott Moore on the Spanish party island.
Looking rather different off the pitch, the group of women ditched their kits in favour of tight dresses and heels as they attended well-known club Ushuaia where they partied in the VIP section.
Ms Kelly, 26, who got engaged to her fiancé under the Northern Lights on a trip to Iceland last year, wore white high-waisted trousers, a halterneck top and a ‘bride’ headband.

The group then descended one of Ibiza’s famous beach clubs, posing for the camera in bikinis and sunglasses, with Ms Kelly wearing a white fluffy cowboy hat.
In typical hen do style, the footballer’s friends had kitted out her hotel room with a giant inflatable engagement ring, balloons and gift bags.
‘Ibizeeeeeee baby! Unreal hen party for our amazing bride to be @chloekelly. These girls are special, now bring on the wedding,’ Ms Houghton wrote on Instagram.
Earling-born Ms Kelly rose to prominence during last year’s World Cup, during which she scored England’s winning penalty against Nigeria.
Just one year before that she had been a substitute for all six of England’s matches during the Euros, having only just recovered from a ligament injury she suffered in 2021.
She has been in a relationship with Moore, who is thought to work for a golf centre, for more than five years and they have largely kept their romance out of the public eye.
‘Nothing really changes for me except for a nice ring, I guess,’ she told Sky Sports after Moore proposed.
‘It’s an amazing feeling and it was so special, wedding planning is going well. I’m really enjoying it, I’ve got a little book and I just enjoy it,’ she said.

‘I go home from training and it’s a nice switch off to focus on wedding planning – it’s just enjoyable for me.
‘I’d like to be a wedding planner when I finish playing. I’m good at it so far, I’m not finding it stressful. I don’t get stressed.’
While the Lionesses are letting off steam in Ibiza, the men’s squad are training hard in Germany as they gear up for the rest of their group stage matches.
The Three Lions were the winners in their first match against Serbia, with a 1-0 victory thanks to a goal by Jude Bellingham.
Denmark were held to a 1-1 draw by Slovenia in their opening match and still have some work to do to qualify for the round of 16.
England will next battle it out against Denmark before their second group match, before their third and final game against Slovenia on Tuesday, June 25.
