The French team achieved a historic victory with a 3:2 win against England, securing their place in the semi-finals for the first time in 55 years. Gonzalo Peillat scored two goals against Poland on his 33rd birthday, but it was not enough to prevent Poland from finishing the tournament without any points, finishing in last place.
In the women's tournament, England, Italy, Germany, and Spain have reached the semi-finals. The Netherlands and France were eliminated before the semi-finals, with France losing to Germany in the quarter-finals on penalties (5-6), and the Netherlands being eliminated earlier in the group stage. The semi-finals saw England defeat Italy 2-1 after extra time, and Spain defeated Germany 1-0 after extra time. The final was held on July 27, 2025, where England and Spain drew 1-1 after extra time, and England won 3-1 on penalties.
Coach Henning warned his team not to underestimate the game against Poland, stating that giving less than 70% effort would make the game difficult.
