European champions England will renew their rivalry with France and the Netherlands and also clash with debutants Wales in the group stage of the Women’s Euro 2025 tournament after the draw was made in Switzerland on Monday (December 16).
World Cup winners Spain, second in the FIFA rankings and hungry to claim a first Euro title, should have an easier path against Group B opponents Portugal, Belgium and Italy.
Eight-times European champions Germany, who are ranked third in the world, are in Group C with Poland, Denmark and Sweden. Hosts Switzerland will play Norway, Iceland and Finland in Group A and will kick off the tournament on July 2 against the Norwegians in Basel.
Despite being holders, Sarina Wiegman’s England team were placed in Pot 2 of the draw after finishing second behind France by a point in their Euro qualifying group, with the two teams splitting their qualifying games with identical 2-1 scores. England face France in their group opener on July 5.
