The UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying competition will be a women's football competition that determines the 15 teams joining the automatically qualified host Switzerland in the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 final tournament.[1]

Format

The European Qualifiers start in April 2024, following the conclusion of the 2023–24 Women's Nations League. The qualifiers are composed of a league stage and final tournament play-offs.[2][3]

The league stage is played in the same format as the UEFA Women's Nations League, with teams split into three leagues: League A with 16 teams, League B with 16 teams and League C with 19 teams. Each team's starting league position is determined based on the results of the preceding Women's Nations League. In February 2024, promotion/relegation matches were played to determine the final composition of each league.

Again, teams compete in groups of four (Leagues A and B) and four or three teams (League C) and over six matchdays, with each team playing one home match and one away match against all the other teams in their group.

The goals for this competition are: to qualify for the UEFA Women's Euro 2025; and to be positioned as high as possible for the upcoming 2025–26 UEFA Women's Nations League.

The European Qualifiers ranking at the end of the league stage determines three main outcomes:

  • Who qualifies directly for Euro 2025
  • Who goes into the play-offs for Euro 2025
  • The composition of the leagues for the upcoming Nations League

For Euro 2025 qualification:[3]

  • the top two teams in each League A group will qualify directly for the finals alongside hosts Switzerland
  • the remaining seven spots will be decided by two rounds of play-offs in October to December 2024

Promotion and relegation will take place prior to the upcoming 2025–26 UEFA Women's Nations League[3] and will have no effect on qualification for the play-offs for Euro 2025.

  • The four group winners in League B will be promoted to League A
  • The five group winners in League C will be promoted to League B
  • The four fourth-placed teams in League A will be relegated to League B
  • The four fourth-placed teams, plus the lowest-ranked third-placed team in League B, will be relegated to League C
  • All other teams will stay in the same league

Tiebreakers

Tiebreakers for group ranking

If two or more teams in the same group are equal on points on completion of the league phase, the following tie-breaking criteria are applied:[2]

  1. Higher number of points obtained in the matches played among the teams in question;
  2. Superior goal difference in matches played among the teams in question;
  3. Higher number of goals scored in the matches played among the teams in question;
  4. If, after having applied criteria 1 to 3, teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 3 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the teams in question to determine their final rankings.[a] If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 5 to 11 apply;
  5. Superior goal difference in all group matches;
  6. Higher number of goals scored in all group matches;
  7. Higher number of away goals scored in all group matches;
  8. Higher number of wins in all group matches;
  9. Higher number of away wins in all group matches;
  10. Lower disciplinary points total in all group matches (1 point for a single yellow card, 3 points for a red card as a consequence of two yellow cards, 3 points for a direct red card, 4 points for a yellow card followed by a direct red card).
  11. Position in the 2024–25 Women's European Qualifiers access list.

Notes

  1. ^ When there are two or more teams tied on points, criteria 1 to 3 are applied. After these criteria are applied, they may define the position of some of the teams involved, but not all of them. For example, if there is a three-way tie on points, the application of the first three criteria may only break the tie for one of the teams, leaving the other two teams still tied. In this case, the tiebreaking procedure is resumed, from the beginning, for those teams that are still tied.

Criteria for league ranking

Individual league rankings are established according to the following criteria:[2]

  1. Position in the group;
  2. Higher number of points;
  3. Superior goal difference;
  4. Higher number of goals scored;
  5. Higher number of goals scored away from home;
  6. Higher number of wins;
  7. Higher number of wins away from home;
  8. Lower disciplinary points total (1 point for a single yellow card, 3 points for a red card as a consequence of two yellow cards, 3 points for a direct red card, 4 points for a yellow card followed by a direct red card).
  9. Position in the 2024–25 Women's European Qualifiers access list

In order to rank teams in League C, which may be composed of different sized groups, the results against the fourth-placed teams are not taken into account for the purposes of comparing teams placed first, second, and third in their respective groups.[2]

Criteria for overall ranking

The overall UEFA Nations League rankings are established as follows:[2]

  1. The 16 League A teams are ranked 1st to 16th according to their league rankings.
  2. The 16 League B teams are ranked 17th to 32nd according to their league rankings.
  3. The League C teams are ranked 33rd onwards according to their league rankings.

All 55 UEFA national teams were able to submit an entry for the competition by 23 March 2023 at the latest.[4] This involved participation in the qualifying competition for Euro 2025 as well as the preceding 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League.

In total, 51 teams entered the qualifying competition.[3] Russia were not permitted to enter the competition, as Russian teams had been suspended indefinitely from UEFA and FIFA competitions in 28 February 2022 due to their country's invasion of Ukraine.[5] In addition, Gibraltar, Liechtenstein and San Marino did not submit an entry.

Teams were split into leagues based on the overall ranking and on the promotion/relegation matches from the 2023–24 Women's Nations League competition.[3][6]

Teams were divided into four pots of four in Leagues A and B, and three pots of five and one pot of four in League C.[2]. The seedings, pots, and draw procedure were confirmed by UEFA on 1 March 2024.[7]

Draw

The draw for the UEFA Women's European Qualifiers took place in Nyon, Switzerland on 5 March 2024 at 13:00 CET.[7] For political reasons, Kosovo could not be drawn into the same group as either Bosnia and Herzegovina or Serbia. In addition, the teams in League C that previously played in three-team groups in the 2023-24 Women's Nations League (Bulgaria and North Macedonia), were drawn into four-team groups for this competition.[7]

Play-offs

The play-offs determine the final seven teams that qualify for the final tournament and are played over two rounds.[2][3]

In the first round, the eight teams finishing third and fourth in League A will be seeded, and drawn into ties against the five group winners and three best-ranked runners-up in League C. The eight winners progress to the second round.

In addition the group winners, runners-up and third-placed teams in League B (except Switzerland) will participate in the first round (i.e. the 12 best-ranked League B teams). The six higher-ranked of those teams will be seeded and drawn into ties against the six lower-ranked teams. The six winners progress to the next round.[3][7]

Switzerland, competing in League B, are guaranteed a spot in the final tournament as hosts, and therefore will not participate in the play-offs. If Switzerland finish in the top three places in their group, then the best-ranked fourth-placed team (i.e. the team ranked 13th in League B) will qualify for the first round.[7]

In the second round, the teams from both paths come together and will be drawn into seven ties. The seven highest-ranked teams according to the 2024–25 European Qualifiers overall ranking who won their first round ties will be seeded and drawn against the seven remaining winners from the first round.[2][7]

The seven winners of these ties progress to the final tournament in Switzerland.

Both rounds of the play-offs are played according to the knockout system, with each team playing its opponent twice, once at home and once away. The team that scores more goals on aggregate is the winner. If the aggregate score is level, extra time is played (the away goals rule is not applied). If the score remains level after extra time, a penalty shoot-out is used to decide the winner.[2]

In both rounds, the seeded teams will play the second leg of their ties at home.[2]

Overall ranking

The results of each team's league rankings are used to calculate the overall ranking of the competition, using the ranking criteria,[2] and will be used for seeding in the Euro 2025 final tournament draw and the upcoming 2025–26 Women's Nations League. Teams will be promoted or relegated for the next Nations League as indicated.
