The Norwegians navigated the group stage in impressive style, with Gemma Grainger's team winning all three of their games against Switzerland, Finland and Iceland.
Italy's route to the knockout phase of the tournament was slightly less straightforward. Andrea Soncin's Azzurre snuck into the quarters just ahead of Belgium and were well beaten by Spain in their last group stage game.

How to watch the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 online from anywhere using a VPN
If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the international soccer action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. They can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins.
However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN use is crucial.
