UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 Qualifying Explained
The qualification process for UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 was structured and competitive. Teams were divided into three leagues (A, B, C) based on their performance in the 2023/24 UEFA Women’s Nations League.
Within each league, teams competed in groups, playing home and away matches. The top eight teams from League A directly qualified for the EURO 2025. Switzerland, as the host nation (competing in League B), also secured automatic qualification.
