Spain won its first Women's World Cup title less than a year after a player rebellion, holding off England 1-0 on Sunday after Olga Carmona's first-half goal.
Spain is the fifth winner in nine editions of the Women's World Cup and joins Germany as the only two nations to win both the men's and women's tournaments.
The Lionesses were trying to bring a World Cup back to England for the first time since 1966, but fell just short.
Three of those players — Ona Batlle, Aitana Bonmatí and Mariona Caldentey — reconciled with the federation and were at the World Cup.
England coach Sarina Wiegman was the first coach to take her teams to back-to-back World Cup title matches.
