Spain drawn with Norway, Ireland and Switzerland in Women's Nations League

Spain's quest to retain their Women's Nations League title will begin against three competitive European opponents after the defending champions were placed in Group A1 of the 2027 competition.

The draw, conducted on Tuesday, paired the Spanish side with Norway, Ireland and Switzerland in what promises to be a closely contested group stage. Spain claimed the inaugural title in the 2023 edition of the tournament, establishing themselves as the competition's benchmark.

The league-phase format will see all four nations compete against each other in a round-robin series, with the top performers advancing through the competition's knockout stages.

The 2027 Women's Nations League represents a key fixture in the European football calendar, offering qualifying opportunities and competitive preparation for international tournaments. Spain's positioning in Group A1 places them alongside sides with varying pedigrees, from Norway's established footballing tradition to the emerging strength of both Ireland and Switzerland in women's football.
