The final of UEFA Women's Euro 2017 happened on 6th August 2017 at De Grolsch Veste in Enschede, Netherlands.[6] The teams playing were the Netherlands and Denmark because they won their semi-final matches. The Netherlands won the final 4–2, and it was their first time winning the UEFA Women's Championship.[7][8]

Background

This was also the first time that both the Netherlands and Denmark reached the final. It was a big deal because, for the first time since 1993, a country other than Germany won the competition. Before this, only two other countries, Norway and Sweden, had won this championship. Norway lost to both the Netherlands and Denmark in the early games, and Sweden lost to the Netherlands in the quarter-finals.[9]

These two teams had already played against each other in the group stage, and the Netherlands won 1–0 with a penalty from Sherida Spitse.
