### Match schedule & results
## Second Category

Teams in this Category had no chance to qualify to the World Cup. Originally, the winners of the second category, along with the two best runners-up (Israel and Romania), were to contest play-off matches against the bottom-placed teams of the first category. The play-off winners would then participate in the first category of UEFA Women's Euro 2009 qualifying. However, the play-offs were cancelled after UEFA changed the qualifying format to no longer be split into two divisions.
