Performance in Nations League
During their Nations League journey, Finland achieved notable victories against Hungary and Belarus. They also earned a point from a match against Serbia.
Recent International Experience
Siren and Nyström played in their first European Championship earlier this summer. Finland, known as the Helmarit, narrowly missed a spot in the quarter-finals, exiting at the group stage. A late goal from Switzerland ultimately denied their advancement on goal difference.
Individually, Siren has consistently contributed to her team’s success this season, while Nyström has been a regular starter in four Women’s Super League fixtures for the 2025/26 season. Their inclusion in the national team underscores their crucial roles within the squad as they aim for a place in the World Cup qualifiers.
