How did Women's EURO 2025 qualifying work?

Teams were split into three leagues: League A with 16 teams, League B with 16 teams and League C with the remaining teams. Each team's starting league position was determined based on the results of the 2023/24 UEFA Women's Nations League.

Teams competed in groups of 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 final European Qualifiers league ranking rewarded the eight top teams in League A with direct qualification for Women's EURO 2025. Hosts Switzerland (in League B) were also guaranteed a slot.

The remaining slots were contested over two rounds of home-and-away European Qualifiers play-offs.

In the first round, the teams finishing third and fourth in League A played the winners and three best-ranked runners-up in League C. The eight winners progressed to the second round.

The three group winners (other than Switzerland) and three best-ranked runners-up in League B were drawn into six ties against the remaining runners-up, four third-placed teams and best fourth-placed team in League B. The six winners progressed to the second round.

In the second round, the teams were drawn into seven ties, with the seven winners progressing to the final tournament.

Tournament narrative

The tournament's key promotional message melds the mountainous landscape of Switzerland with what football never fails to deliver: the complete spectrum of human emotions. The term "summit" both positions Women's EURO 2025 as the pinnacle of European sports competition and serves as a reference to the unique location in which the tournament takes place.

Tournament legacy

The legacy programme, led by the SFV/ASF, aims to drive positive change by engaging the whole of Switzerland in conversations and actions centred around women's football, representation and equal opportunity. The vision of the tournament is to stimulate long-term, sustainable change at both grassroots and elite levels.
