The 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League C is the third and lowest division of the 2023–24 edition of the UEFA Women's Nations League, the inaugural season of the international football competition involving the women's national teams of the member associations of UEFA. The results will be used to determine the leagues for the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying competition.

Format

League C consists of the bottom 19 UEFA members ranked 33rd to 51st among competition entrants in the UEFA women's national team coefficient ranking. Teams were split into four groups of four (Groups 1 to 4) and one group of three (Group 5). Each team will play four (three-team group) or six (four-team groups) matches within their group, using the home-and-away round-robin format with double matchdays in September, October and November to December 2023.[1] The competition also acts as the first phase of the preliminary competition for UEFA Women's Euro 2025, which will use an identical league structure. The group winners will be promoted to League C, taking effect in UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying. In addition, the three best-ranked League C runners-up will advance to the promotion play-offs against the three best-ranked third-placed teams in League B. The winners of these home-and-away ties will enter League B for UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying, while the losers will enter League C.[2]

Seeding

Teams were allocated to League C according to their UEFA women's national team coefficient after the conclusion of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying group stage on 6 September 2022. Teams were split into three pots of five teams (Pots 1 to 4) and one pot of four teams (Pot 5), ordered based on their UEFA national team coefficient.[3]

The draw for the league phase took place at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on May 2023, 13:00 CEST.[4] Groups 1 to 4 contain one team from each pot, while Group 5 contains one team from Pots 1 to 3. The draw started with Pot 1 and ended with Pot 4, with drawn teams assigned to the first available group in ascending order from C1 to C5. Due to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Armenia and Azerbaijan cannot be drawn in the same group. Due to winter venue restrictions, a group can contain a maximum of two of Estonia, the Faroe Islands, Latvia and Lithuania. Due to excessive travel restrictions, only one of Andorra, the Faroe Islands and Malta can be drawn with Kazakhstan.[5]
