UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying state of play after league stage | OneFootball

16 teams will travel to Switzerland next summer for the 2025 UEFA Women's European Championships and nine of those have now been confirmed.

On Tuesday evening, the qualifiers league stage drew to a close and teams competing in League A were battling for automatic qualification. Places in the play-offs were also at stake for those who finished outside of the top two in their groups in League A, as well as those in Leagues B and C.

The final seven spots will be decided by play-offs later in the year ahead of the group stage draw in Lausanne, Switzerland on 16 December. The tournament will then begin on 2 July 2025 and conclude on 27 July.

Here's an overview of every team that has now qualified for Euro 2025, which pot they will be in for the group stage draw and the remaining 28 nations set to contest the play-offs later in the year.

Although Switzerland competed in League B, they have already qualified for the finals as the hosts of next summer's tournament and will be drawn from Pot 1. The furthest they have ever gone in the competition is the group stages in 2017 and 2022.

World Cup winners Spain have also qualified as winners of Group A2. They won five of their six group games, losing just once against Czechia. In 2022, they reached the quarter-final stage, although their best ever finish was the semi-finals in 1997.

Eight-time European champions Germany have also booked their place in next summer's finals. They have qualified as Group A4 winners after winning five of their six matches. In 2022, they were runners-up to champions England after losing the final 2-1 at Wembley.

France complete Pot 1 after they finished top of Group A3, which also consisted of England and Sweden. Their best ever finish on the European stage is the semi-finals of the 2022 edition of the tournament.

Italy have qualified for the Euros as winners of group A1, although they will be drawn from pot two in the group stage draw in December. They were runners-up in the competition in both 1993 and 1997, although in 2022 they failed to progress into the knockout stages.

After failing to qualify for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, Iceland have made amends by securing their place at next summer's Euros as runners-up of Group A4. They finished behind Germany but did record a famous win over the eight-time champions in their penultimate group game last week.

Denmark finished second in Group A2 behind Spain, which means they will be drawn from Pot 2. In 2022, they failed to progress from the group stage, but were runners-up in 2017.

2022 winners England secured the final place in Pot 2 after clinching second in Group A3 behind France. The World Cup finalists will have an opportunity to retain their European crown next summer, but their route to another final may be more challenging due to their status in Pot 2.

The Netherlands have qualified for next summer's finals as runners-up of Group A1 behind Italy. The 2017 European champions will be drawn from Pot 3, with the remaining places set to be decided by the play-offs.

Which teams have qualified for the Euro 2025 play-offs?

The four third-place teams in League A will need to qualify through the play-offs. Following Tuesday night's results, they are Austria, Sweden, Belgium and Norway.

Those who finished bottom of their groups in League A will also have an opportunity to qualify via the play-offs, but they have been relegated into League B moving forward. These teams are Finland, Czechia, the Republic of Ireland and Poland.

Group winners of League B have secured promotion to League A, as well as a place in the play-offs. As Switzerland won their group but were already qualified, Azerbaijan, the best ranked fourth-placed team from League B, have reached the play-offs.

The remaining group winners, runners-up and third-place teams will also enter the play-offs. This includes Turkiye, Hungary, Scotland, Serbia, Slovakia, Portugal, Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Wales, Ukraine and Croatia.

From League C, only the winners and three best runners-up from the five groups will contest the play-offs. The group winners are Belarus, Slovenia, Greece, Romania and Albania. Those who qualified for the play-offs from second place are Luxembourg, Montenegro and Georgia.

The play-off draw will take place at midday UK time on Friday 19 July in Nyon. Round one will be played between 23 and 29 October, with round two contested from 27 November to 3 December.
