Adidas-themed ball for the title match, spring-like temperature for the first time in Oceania, a white Australian ibis as a distracted spectator, and a lot of passion in the effort.

This is how the Spanish National Team trained on Thursday morning at the Leichhardt Oval facilities, in what has been the first session on the field for the international players since their arrival in Australia.

 

With the certainty that England will be the opponent in Sunday's final, Jorge Vilda led a demanding preparatory session, alternating exercises with and without the ball.

The 23 players called up for the World Cup have trained at the same pace, gradually adapting to the city of Sydney, the stage for the match that will decide the pinnacle of women's football this week.
