Hannah Hampton and Alisha Lehmann learned who they will face at next summer's Euro 2022 finals on Thursday.
Hosts England will open the tournament against Austria at Old Trafford on Wednesday, July 6 (ko 8pm) and also meet Norway and Northern Ireland in Group A after the draw was made on Thursday afternoon at Victoria Warehouse in Greater Manchester.
Hampton was named in Sarina Wiegman's most recent Lionesses squad and will be hoping to make the final squad for the tournament.
Also in the draw were current holders the Netherlands. The Oranje were placed in Group C with Sweden, Russia and Lehmann's Switzerland.
Germany, whose 22-year reign as champions was ended in 2017, will start their bid to regain the trophy against the team that beat them in that quarter-final, Denmark, in Group B, which also contains Spain and Finland.
France are in Group D with Italy, Belgium and Iceland.
