The European qualifying group stage for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup begins on Thursday (16 September).

And with several Villans set to be involved for their respective countries, we'll be keeping a close eye on the road to Australia and New Zealand.

The 51 teams in qualifying have been split into nine groups (six of six, three of five).

They will be competing for nine direct spots into the tournament, as well as further play-off places being up for grabs if necessary.

 

Per UEFA, qualification to the finals will be determined through the following:

  • The winners of the nine qualifying groups will progress directly to the finals in Australia and New Zealand from 20 July to 20 August 2023.
  • The group runners-up take part in the UEFA play-offs in October 2022.
  • In the play-offs, the three best runners-up will be seeded directly to round 2 of the play-offs. The six remaining runners-up contest three single-leg play-offs in round 1.
  • The three winners from round 1 and the three teams seeded directly to round 2 will then compete in single-leg play-offs determined by a draw.
  • The two play-off winners with the highest ranking (based on results in the qualifying group stage and round 2 play-offs) will qualify for the finals.
  • The remaining play-off winner will compete in the inter-confederation play-offs fron 17 to 23 February 2023 in Australia and New Zealand.
