Wellington Regional Stadium will host the Spain vs Netherlands, the first semi-final clash of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 on Friday. La Roja cruised to victory in their last-16 clash against Switzerland, while the Netherlands got the better of South Africa. Spain began their third Women's World Cup appearance in brilliant form, winning their first two games against Costa Rica and Zambia by a combined 8-0 scoreline. They are now looking to reach the semi-finals of a major tournament for just the second time after previously appearing in the last four of Euro 1997.
The Netherlands are in impressive form at the 2023 Women's World Cup. After their campaign got off to a winning start against Portugal, the Dutch played out a hard-earned 1-1 draw against the record winners USA, before registering a 7-0 victory over Vietnam. The Netherlands have extended their unbeaten run to six matches, and they are still in the hunt for their first Women's World Cup trophy after finishing as runners-up in France four years ago.
The two teams have met ten times across competitions, with Spain leading 5-2. They will meet for the first time in the World Cup. Spain have won three straight games against the Netherlands without conceding. Spain have outscored the Netherlands 13-11 in the World Cup this year. The 2019 runners-up have the better defensive record, though, conceding one goal to Spain's five. Spain have won nine of their last ten games across competitions, while the Netherlands have won five of their last six games.

Spain are hoping that centre-back Ivana Andres will be fit to start after missing the last two matches with an injury issue. After replacing Misa Rodriguez in between the posts for the last-16 tie, Barcelona's Catalina Coll is set to retain her place in goal for Friday's contest. Oihane Hernandez, Esther Gonzalez, and Redondo are also expected to retain their places in the side after being brought into the lineup for the win over Switzerland.
The dutches are unable to call upon the services of Atletico Madrid defender Merel van Dongen, who suffered an ankle injury in Monday's training sessions. Danielle van de Donk will serve a one-match suspension after picking up her second yellow card of the tournament against South Africa. Her absence can provide Damaris Egurrola with a starting opportunity. Roord has found the net on four occasions at the 2023 Women's World Cup. She will continue to provide a goal threat from midfield for the Netherlands.
Netherlands Women's possible starting lineup: Van Domselaar; Spitse, Van der Gragt, Janssen; Pelova, Roord, Groenen, Egurrola, Brugts; Beerensteyn, Martens

Team News: Portugal
Francisco Conceição celebrates his equaliser against Germany in the Nations League semi-final in Munich
Portugal will be confident of beating any team in the world after ousting Germany in the semi-final. This was their first win over the Germans since the EURO 2000. Not only that, but Cristiano Ronaldo also won against Germany for the first time in his senior career, after netting the winning goal.
Roberto Martínez has introduced a few new tactical things to turn things around for Portugal, after crashing out against France on penalties in the last eight. Rafael Leão, Pedro Neto or Francisco Conceição on the wings supplying central striker Cristiano Ronaldo, has been a great plan for him along with having a strong 4-man defence in the back.
Along with them, inform Vitinha, fresh from a Champions League triumph, and Bruno Fernandes, give Portugal solidity in the midfield.
Till now, there is no news of injuries, and Martinez will have a full squad to choose from for the final against Spain.
Lamine Yamal and Pedri hugging each other after a goal during Span's 5-4 win over France in the Nations League semi-final match
Spain have been one of the best sides in world football, comprising one of the brightest young talents in every position. Although they are suffering from a few long-term injuries to some senior players, Luis de la Fuente's team looks no worried since winning the EURO 2024.
In a record-breaking semi-final, where the most number of goals in a Nations League match was scored, Spain defeated France by 5-4 to qualify for the final. Though the scoreline looks tight, Spain once led by 4-1, and a few experiments along with complacency led them to win by a smaller margin.
Lamine Yamal, the Ballon d'Or 2025 contender, scored a brace for them while Pedri netted a magical goal. Mikel Oyarzabal, just like every time, performed silently while providing two assists. Nico Williams also looked like a beast on the right.
Scoring goals will never be an issue for a team like this. But, defending well against a well-shaped Portugal team would be a tough task for them.
No news of new injuries for them as well.

Spain are in a run of an impressive 20-game unbeaten run across all competitions (W15, D5) and are looking to become the first team to retain the UEFA Nations League since the tournament began in 2018.
But Luis de la Fuente's side will be without the current Ballon d'Or winner Rodri, who is still undergoing his recovery at Manchester City. Along with Rodri, Spain will also miss the services of Ferran Torres, who underwent surgery for appendicitis.
Real Betis captain Isco is in contention to make his senior Spain return since 2019. Meantime, Gavi will also be returning to the national side since 2013. Pau Cubarsi will also be returning to the squad after missing the previous international break through injury.
Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo and Nico Williams, along with Mikel Oyarzabal, will lead Spain's attack.

Didier Deschamps will have Champions League player of the final, Desire Doue, and Champions League player of the season, Ousmane Dembele, at hand to go full throttle against Spain. However, in defence, he will miss Upamecano, William Saliba and Jules Kounde. Benjamin Pavard and Malo Gusto will then fight to replace them, alongside Ibrahim Konate being an obvious choice for the left-back role.
Kylian Mbappe, alongside Rayan Cherki, would be France's strikers' option for Deschamps.
