Stadium Australia has been transformed overnight as England take on Spain in the Women’s World Cup final.

The 83,500-capacity ground, which is usually home to the Australian men’s team, has been decorated with ‘The Final’ banners and motivational quotes.

This is the Lionesses’ first time reaching a World Cup final, after they most recently knocked Australia out at the semi-finals while playing in their own country.

Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp, and Alessia Russo all scored goals during the game.
