Lights out at Wembley: England vs. Spain women’s match paused in darkness

By Canadian Press on February 26, 2025.

LONDON (AP) — The lights went out on England and Spain in their Nations League match at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday.

European champion England led world champion Spain 1-0 early in the second half when stadium was suddenly plunged into darkness when the floodlights shut down.

Digital advertising hoardings and lighting within corporate boxes remained functioning.

Play resumed after a short break when the lights powered back up.

The game was a rematch of the World Cup final in Sydney in 2023 when Spain beat England 1-0 to lift the trophy.
