ANKARA

Spain won the inaugural UEFA Women's Nations League title after beating France 2-0 on Wednesday.

Barcelona and Spain star Aitana Bonmati, who was crowned the 2023 women's Ballon d'Or winner in October, scored the opener with a powerful finish for the reigning World Cup holders in the 32nd minute at Seville's La Cartuja Stadium.

In the second half of the 2024 final, Spain extended their lead on home soil.

Another Barcelona player, Mariona Caldentey, curled a right-footed finish into the far corner to make it 2-0 in the 53rd minute.

Following the victory, the Spanish women were crowned the first-ever Nations League champions.

Bonmati, a 26-year-old Spain midfielder, was awarded the Player of the Finals of the tournament.

Spain have already bagged a Paris 2024 Olympic Games ticket, which will be their first in history.

In 2023, Spain won the FIFA Women's World Cup in Sydney for the first time, which was also their first major title.
