The Spanish women's national team has been crowned European champion at the Karlstad course in Sweden, where the tournament has been held for the past five days. They defeated England 5-2 in the final, achieving their initial goal of retaining the title won in the previous edition. The doubles matches saw each team earn one point, but the biggest difference came in the singles, where the Spanish team won four out of a possible five points.
Recapping the previous four rounds, Spain finished this first phase in second place, one stroke behind England, the top team so far. Both teams have distinguished themselves as the most accurate, to the point that the Spanish team finished 15 strokes ahead of the Germans, who are in third place.
In the quarterfinals, Spain successfully faced Switzerland, defeating them 5-2 despite the score being tied at 1-1 after the foursomes matches. The Spanish team's superiority in the singles matches was evident, however, with two matches decided on the 14th hole and another two on the 15th, clear proof of their strength. Interestingly, María Hernández, who performed very well in the first phase, was the only one to lose in these singles matches, falling to Switzerland's Sheila Lee 2-1. France awaits them in the semifinals.
In the semifinals, the Spanish team defeated France 4-3 and will face England in the final, aiming to defend their title. While France started the day by taking the first point, the Spanish pair of Tania Elósegui and María Hernández won 1-0, leveling the score. In the singles matches, the competition was fierce, as evidenced by Emma Cabrera needing 23 holes to defeat Melodie Bourdy, bringing the score to 3-3. The decisive point for Spain was secured by Tania Elósegui, who won 3-2 on the 16th hole. England reached the final with less difficulty, defeating Sweden 5-2.
