More than anyone else by far, building an extraordinary record that makes them an indisputable reference within the European continent, and repeating the success of the previous edition, Spain has made history by achieving the eleventh title in the European Under-18 Women's Team Championship that has been held at the Swiss Golf & Country Club Zürich course, overcoming England in a heart-stopping final by a tight 4/3.

Spain has reaffirmed its status as the most decorated country in the history of this competition with talent, hard work, security and success, ahead of Sweden's eight victories thanks to a string of triumphs that must be listed in full to fully appreciate its superiority: editions of 1991, 1993, 1997, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2015, 2021, 2023, 2025 and 2026.

The Spanish team has delivered an excellent performance from the very beginning of the competition, qualifying for the knockout round as a seeded team and offering a true exhibition of play, later ratified with comfortable victories against Sweden and the Czech Republic by 5.5-1.5 in the quarterfinals and semifinals.

Only the final hurdle remained to reach glory once more, with England, a quality and tenacious team, standing in their way. The clash of forces was extraordinary from the very beginning, reflected in the doubles matches, one of them clearly tilted in favor of the English – the one played by Lauren Crump and Annabel Peaford against Adriana García Terol and Carolina Pérez-Tasso, who lost 5/4 – and another incredibly close until the sisters Amanda and Ángela Revuelta opened the scoring for Spain with a 1-up victory.

With the score tied, the five individual matches soon became a maelstrom of extreme sensations, depending on the outcome of some very intense confrontations where the balance frequently tipped to one side or the other.

Only Carolina Pérez-Tasso, 4/3 against the Englishwoman Annabel Peaford, brought clarity to the matter, a coin returned almost immediately, however, by Mia Ingham against Amanda Revuelta, whom she beat by 3/2. The rest of the matches, however, were destined to be resolved in the vicinity of the 18th hole, the logical result of duels constrained by equality.

This happened in the case of Nagore Martinez, who beat Ellie Lichtenhein 2/1, another Spanish point countered by Lauren Crump's victory over Carlota Lopez on the same 18th hole, by 1 up.

With a sizzling 3-3 on the scoreboard, everything depended on the outcome of the duel between Adriana García Terol and Daisy Lee, which unfolded from the start like a merry-go-round: the Spaniard taking the initiative in the first holes, the Englishwoman reacting before passing the halfway point, then equality as both sought the formula to overcome their rival on holes 14 and 15… before Adriana García Terol, superb, managed to surpass her rival at the right moment, in the final holes, a 2/1 that contributed to Spain writing another glorious page in the history of this tournament, eleven gold medals, more than anyone else in this European Under 18 Women's Team Championship.
