French World Cup: The Spanish and French women's football teams play the final of the UEFA Women's Nations League in the Estadio de la Cartuja in Seville on Wednesday night. Spain booked their place in the final on Friday with a comfortable 3-0 win over the Netherlands on the same ground, while the French beat Germany 2-1 to reach the final.

The semifinal win also means that the Spanish assured their first-ever qualification for the Olympic Games, giving them the chance to add an Olympic medal to the World Cup that they won in the summer, while the French were already assured an Olympic place as hosts, reports Xinhua.

France coach Herve Renard is without Sandy Baltimore, who has been forced to withdraw from the squad due to a family issue. Vicky Becho, who was part of the French World Cup squad, has been called up from the Under-23's to replace her.
