Women's EURO 2025 final tournament draw: Monday

The UEFA Women's EURO 2025 final tournament draw – which will be held at 18:00 CET on Monday 16 December at the Swiss Tech Convention Centre in Lausanne, Switzerland – will split the 16 contenders into four groups of four teams.

Hosts Switzerland will be joined in the final tournament by eight teams that progressed directly from the qualifying league stage and seven further play-off winners.

The top two teams from each final tournament group will progress to the knockout phase.

The teams will be divided into four groups of four teams, Groups A to D.

Hosts Switzerland are placed in position A1.

The 15 teams that qualified via the European Qualifiers have been classified in accordance with the overall Women's European Qualifiers league stage rankings.

The three seeded teams from Pot 1 will be drawn into positions one in Group B to D.

The remaining 12 teams shall be allocated at random to positions 2 to 4 in each group. For this purpose, four additional pots (Pots A to D) with three balls each are used:

Pot A: Positions A2, A3 and A4

Pot B: Positions B2, B3 and B4

Pot C: Positions C2, C3 and C4

Pot D: Positions D2, D3 and D4

The group positions determine the order of matches in the group stage, as outlined in the match schedule

Draw procedure

The draw starts with Pot 1 from where the teams are drawn to fill position 1 in each group.

One ball is drawn and the team assigned to position 1 of Group B; a second ball is drawn and the team assigned to position 1 of Group C; the last ball is drawn and the team assigned to position 1 of Group D.

The draw continues with Pot 2. A ball is drawn and the team assigned to Group A. In order to determine the position of the drawn team within Group A (i.e. A2, A3 or A4) a ball is drawn from Pot A. A second ball is drawn from Pot 2 and assigned to Group B. Once again, to determine the position of the drawn team within Group B, a ball is drawn from Pot B. The same procedure is repeated for Groups C and D consecutively until all balls from Pot 2 have been drawn and the teams positioned in each group.

When Pot 2 has been emptied, the draw proceeds to Pot 3 and then to Pot 4, using the same procedure as for Pot 2.

The match schedule will be finalised and published as soon as possible after the draw.
