This is an incongruity of the calendar.
The French women's football team will play the first final in its history on Wednesday, in the Nations League.
She will challenge Spain, the reigning world champion, in Seville this Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Then at 8:45 p.m. the match for third place will be played between the Netherlands and Germany in Heerenveen.
Traditionally, in most sports and competitions, the “small final” is played before and not after the big one.

The schedules were communicated by UEFA on Saturday February 24, the day after the semi-finals won by the Blues against Germany (2-1) and by La Roja against the Netherlands (3-0).
The “small final” will, however, have a particular challenge: the winner will be qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. France is automatically qualified.
Two tickets were booked through the Nations League, with Spain having already secured one as runners-up.
The 2023-24 edition of the Nations League is the first in the history of women's football.
