Women's Euros: Which home nations will qualify for 2025 tournament?

The England team won the women's Euros in 2022

The men's European championships are about to come to an end, but we'll soon have a clearer idea of who will be competing in the women's Euros next year.

Home nations England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales are all trying to qualify for the 2025 tournament which will be held in Switzerland.

Reigning champs of the 2022 championship England are in a position where they can automatically qualify depending results over the next two games.

Scotland and Wales are guaranteed a play-off spot, and Northern Ireland still have everything to play for.

So what do the teams need to do to qualify? Take a look below to find out...

How do teams qualify for the Euros 2025?

51 teams are hoping to qualify for the tournament in 2025

In total, 51 teams are hoping to qualify for the tournament this time.

They have been split into three Leagues - A, B and C, based on how well they did in the Women's Nations League.

These leagues are also split into groups of three or four.

The top two teams from each League A group will automatically qualify for Euro 2025.

The third and fourth-placed teams enter the play-offs against sides from League B and C.

The seven spots left, will be decided by these play-offs which will take place later this year.

Hosts Switzerland have done enough to qualify for the 2025 tournament

So far, three teams have qualified - hosts Switzerland, Germany, and world champions Spain. Leaving just 13 teams left to qualify for a place in the finals, which will happen in July 2025.

What do the home nations need to do to qualify?

ENGLAND

England still have a chance to qualify without play-offs

England are in one of the top A leagues, but they have had a bit of a bumpy route in trying to qualify

They earned just one point from home matches against their group rivals Sweden, who they drew with, and lost to France.

But the team earned an important win in their second match with France away in Saint-Étienne, meaning automatic qualification for the tournament is still in their hands.

If Sarina Wiegman's side win both their next two matches, they will qualify automatically without needing the play-offs.

If England beat the Republic of Ireland on Friday and Sweden lose to France, then a draw with Sweden in their final group game on Tuesday will be enough to send the Lionesses to Switzerland.

Defeat in either of their last two games, will mean England will have to qualify through the play offs.

NORTHERN IRELAND

Northern Ireland still have everything to play for

Northern Ireland will earn themselves a spot in the play-offs, if they manage to get at least two points from their final two matches.

That means Tanya Oxtoby's side will reach the play-offs if they win in Malta on Friday, or draw then avoid defeat against Bosnia-Herzegovina in their last match.

SCOTLAND

Scotland will go through the play-offs for their chance to play in the tournament

Scotland have already guaranteed their place in the play-offs, and are now aiming to finish top of their group to earn promotion to League A for the next round of the Women's Nations League.

They can do this by winning their next two matches, or with a point in their final match against Serbia, if Serbia fail to beat Israel in their next game.

WALES

Wales are also guaranteed a place in the play-offs

Wales are guaranteed a place in the play-offs, and could still win the group to gain promotion to League A for the 2025-26 Nations League.

They will go top of the group if they win in Croatia on Friday, then their much better goal difference, would mean they only need a point at home to Kosovo.

If Wales lose on Friday night, Croatia will win the group.
