Theplay-offs of theUEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying competition determined the final seven participants of theWomen's Euro 2025 final tournament, who joined the eight directly qualified teams and hostsSwitzerland.[1]
The play-offs determined the final seven teams that qualified for thefinal tournament and were played over two rounds.[2][3]
In the first round, the eight teams finishing third and fourth inLeague A were seeded, and drawn into ties against the five group winners and three best-ranked runners-up inLeague C. The eight winners progressed to the second round.
In addition the group winners, runners-up and third-placed teams inLeague B (except Switzerland) participated in the first round (i.e. the 12 best-ranked League B teams). The six higher-ranked of those teams were seeded and drawn into ties against the six lower-ranked teams. The six winners progressed to the next round.[3][4]
Switzerland, who competed in League B, were guaranteed a spot in the final tournament as hosts, and therefore did not participate in the play-offs. Since they finished in the top three places in their group, the best-ranked fourth-placed team (i.e. the team ranked 13th in League B) also qualified for the first round.[4]
In the second round, the teams from both paths came together and were drawn into seven ties. The team pairings from the first round ties involving the seven highest-ranked teams, according to the2024–25 European Qualifiers overall ranking, were seeded in the second round draw[note 1] and drawn against the seven remaining pairings from the first round.[2]
The seven winners of these ties progressed to the final tournament in Switzerland.
Both rounds of the play-offs were played over two legs, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. The team that scored more goals on aggregate was the winner. If the aggregate score was level,extra time was played (theaway goals rule was not applied). If the score remained level after extra time, apenalty shoot-out was used to decide the winner.[2]
The play-off draw for both rounds took place on 19 July 2024 at 13:00CEST inNyon, Switzerland.[5]
For the first round draw, theLeague A teams were seeded and drawn into eight ties against theLeague C teams to form Path 1, and the six best-rankedLeague B teams were seeded and drawn against the six lower-ranked League B teams to form Path 2.[2][3][5]
For the second round draw, teams from both paths came together. The draw took place before the winners of the first round were known, and the first round pairings involving the seven highest-ranked teams, according to the2024–25 European Qualifiers overall ranking, were seeded[note 1] and drawn against the seven remaining pairings from the first round.[2][5]
For all three draws, a team from the unseeded pot was drawn first, and placed into the home position in the first tie, followed by a team drawn from the seeded pot placed into the away position, with the process then repeating until each pot was empty. This ensured that all seeded teams will play their second leg ties at home.[5]
Belarus andUkraine could not be drawn together, due toBelarusian involvement in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the second round draw procedure was adjusted as required to ensure this prohibited clash could not occur.[5]
The following teams qualified for the first round of the play-offs, and were seeded as shown.[5]
