Spain women's national football team

Spain women's national football team (Spanish: Selección Española de Fútbol Femenina) has been representing Spain in women's football competitions since 1980. It's managed by the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), which is in charge of football in Spain.

Spain's women's team has qualified for the FIFA Women's World Cup and UEFA Women's Championship three times each. They got to the semifinals in 1997. While they haven't achieved as much at the senior level, their youth teams have done really well, especially in 2018. They won two important titles (U-17 and U-19) and made it to the finals in the U-17 and U-20 World Cups, actually winning the U-17 World Cup.

In 2020, Spain climbed up the FIFA international rankings and became one of the top 10 teams in the world. Their players also won several awards from UEFA in 2020. These awards included best goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, forward, and overall best player. Interestingly, this was the first time players from one country won all these categories.
