# UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying League B

League B of UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying was the second division of qualifying for UEFA Women's Euro 2025, the international football competition involving the women's national teams of the member associations of UEFA. The results were also used to determine the leagues for the 2025 UEFA Women's Nations League competition.

## Format

League B consisted of 16 UEFA members ranked 17th to 32nd among competition entrants in the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League ranking, split into four groups of four. Each team played six matches within their group, using the home-and-away round-robin format with double matchdays in April, May to June, and July 2024.
After the league phase, the best-ranked League B teams advanced to the play-offs to determine who qualifies for the final tournament.
The group winners, runners-up and third-placed teams in League B (except Switzerland) advanced to the first round (i.e. the twelve best-ranked teams). The six higher-ranked of those teams were seeded and drawn into ties against the six lower-ranked teams. The six winners progress to the next round.
Switzerland are guaranteed a spot in the final tournament as hosts, and therefore will 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.
The competition also acted as the first phase for the 2025 UEFA Women's Nations League, which will use an identical league structure. The winners of each group were promoted to League A, while the fourth-placed team from each group and the worst-ranked third placed team was relegated to League C.

## Seeding

Teams were allocated to League B after the conclusion of the 2023–24 Women's Nations League promotion/relegation matches on 28 February 2024. Teams were split into four pots of four teams, ordered based on their overall ranking.
Pot 1 :
| Pot 1 Team Rank  Portugal 13  Switzerland 14  Scotland 15  Wales 16 | Pot 2 Team Rank  Bosnia and Herzegovina 21  Serbia 22  Croatia 23  Hungary 24 | Pot 3 Team Rank  Slovakia 25  Northern Ireland 26  Ukraine 27  Turkey 33 | Pot 4 Team Rank  Malta 34  Israel 35  Kosovo 36  Azerbaijan 37 |
* 1 2 3 4 Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary, Iceland, Norway, Serbia, and Sweden participated in the League A vs League B promotion/relegation matches in February 2024 to determine each team's league allocation.
* 1 2 3 Bulgaria, Latvia, Montenegro, Northern Ireland, Slovakia, and Ukraine participated in the League B vs League C promotion/relegation matches in February 2024 to determine each team's league allocation.
The draw took place in Nyon, Switzerland on 5 March 2024 at 13:00 CET. Each group contained one team from each pot. The draw started with Pot 1 and ended with Pot 4, with drawn teams assigned to the first available group in ascending order from B1 to B4. For political reasons, Kosovo could not be drawn into the same group as either Bosnia and Herzegovina or Serbia.

## Qualification for play-offs

The winners, runners-up, and third-placed teams in each group advanced to the play-offs (excluding Switzerland who qualified automatically as hosts). Since Switzerland finished in the top three places in their group, the best-ranked fourth-placed team also advanced to the play-offs.
This means that the twelve best-ranked League B teams excluding Switzerland advanced to the first round. The six higher-ranked teams were seeded, and drawn against the six lower-ranked teams. The winner of those ties will advance to the second round.
