Queen Letizia and Princess Sofia Will Travel to Australia for World Cup Finals

Spain is set to take on England in the finals of the Women's World Cup this weekend. There will be two royals in the stands: Queen Letizia and her younger daughter, Princess Sofia, are set to travel to Australia to cheer on the Spanish team. On the opposing side, Prince William, though he's the president of the Football Association, will not be making the trip Down Under, and no other members of the British royal family are expected to be there, either.

Ahead of the tournament, the Spanish queen visited the Spain women's national football team at their training camp. She told the players, "I know that you are aware of the expectation that you generate and of the illusion that I hope you feel from so many people who support you, encourage you and love you." While there, she was also gifted a jersey that read "LETIZIA" on the back.

The Spanish Royal Family confirmed Letizia and Sofia will be at the game. To watch the match, the royals will likely be seated in the presidential box at Accor Stadium in Sydney.

Queen Letizia's older daughter, Princess Leonor, began her military training today, and King Felipe has to stay home for other responsibilities. However, he's been in the crowd for another exciting Spanish sports match this summer: Felipe attended the Wimbledon men's finals, and watched Spanish player Carlos Alcaraz defeat Novak Djokovic in a thrilling five set match.

In the U.S., the Women's World Cup finals will air on Fox and Telemundo beginning at 6:00 a.m. eastern.
