During the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup held in Canada, Spain was placed in Group E alongside Brazil, Costa Rica, and South Korea.

The team entered their final group stage match on just one point, having drawn with Costa Rica and lost to Brazil. They were fighting for a chance to finish second in the group. Ultimately, however, South Korea came from behind after Spain’s opening goal to secure a 2-1 victory, eliminating Spain from the tournament.

This is the only previous encounter at senior level between the two sides, and South Korea will not be an easy opponent. Ranked ninth in the FIFA standings, they are coming off the back of three consecutive friendly defeats, including heavy losses to Japan (4-0) and the USA in two matches (3-0 and 4-0).

South Korea provides an ideal challenge to test the performance levels of Montse Tomé’s squad, who begin their qualification campaign for the 2025 UEFA Women’s Nations League in February and have already secured their spot in the European Championships in Switzerland. Spain are using these friendly windows to prepare for what’s to come with top-tier opponents to demand the highest level of performance of themselves.
