Spain women’s national team coach Sonia Bermudez cautioned her team that they still need to work hard to secure direct qualification for the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil. Following a convincing 4-0 victory over England, Spain now leads the group standings, with a chance to secure their spot in Brazil by defeating Iceland in the upcoming match.
If Spain fails to win against Iceland, England could potentially qualify directly by winning their match against Ukraine. Despite a previous 3-0 victory over Iceland, Bermudez anticipates a challenging game in Reykjavik, emphasizing Iceland’s strength in various aspects of play.
Bermudez expressed satisfaction with the team’s recent performance against England but acknowledged the need to refocus for the upcoming match. She highlighted the differences in context and location for the next game, emphasizing the importance of securing victory to ensure direct qualification.
The coach noted that the opportunity to secure direct qualification in the final group game is significant for Spain, recognizing the historical challenge of winning in Iceland as an additional motivation for the team.
