How does Women’s Euro 2025 qualifying work?published at 15:15
The qualifiers will see each team face the other teams in their group home and away.
Group winners and runners-up from each League A group automatically qualify, with the remaining seven places taken by the best-ranked sides from all three leagues.
All third and fourth-placed teams from League A will go through to the play-offs.
The top three teams in each League B group will also make the play-offs. If Switzerland finish in the top three of their group, then the best ranked fourth-placed team from League B will go into the play-offs.
From League C, the five group winners and three best-ranked runners-up will reach the play-offs.
The 28 teams making the play-offs will be whittled down to seven, with the first round being split into two paths.
The eight sides from League A will be drawn against the eight sides from League C. The six best teams from League B will face the six lowest-ranked teams from League B. Both sets of matches are two-legged.
In the second play-off round, the remaining 14 teams will be split via seedings. The seven nations with the best ranking will be drawn against the other seven teams. The winners of those fixtures will qualify for the finals.
