The Guardian Football team have been incredibly busy over the last few weeks putting together features, interviews and team guides to see you all through the tournament. Let me take a moment to point you in the direction of this absolutely huge guide to all 368 players appearing at Euro 2025 this month.

Norway winger Caroline Graham Hansen on today’s game: “I think it’ll be a tough game. They won their opening game, so we’re in a bit of a similar situation: both sides know that a win will be a huge step towards the quarter-finals. So a lot is at stake.”

Preamble

Hello and welcome to coverage of the Euro 2025 clash between Norway and Finland. The second round of group stage fixtures kick off today, with the first quarter-finalists potentially confirmed by the end of play. Both teams go into this match having won their first group game, leaving them each on three points.

Norway came from behind to defeat tournament hosts Switzerland 2-1 in Basel thanks to an Ada Hegerberg strike and an own-goal from defender Julia Stierli. Meanwhile, Finland clinched a 1-0 win over Iceland in the opening match of the tournament courtesy of Katariina Kosola.

Victory today would see either team edge closer to the quarter-finals.

Kick-off for this one is at 5pm BST.
