League A of UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying was the top 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
[edit ]League A consisted of the 16 top-ranked UEFA members 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 top two teams of each group qualified automatically for the final tournament and the bottom two teams of each group advanced to the play-offs.
For the first play-off round the eight League A teams were seeded, and drawn against the eight best-ranked teams in League C. The winner of those ties will advance to the second round.[1] [2]
The competition also acted as the first phase for the 2025 UEFA Women's Nations League, which will use an identical league structure. The fourth-placed team from each group was relegated to League B.[1] [2]
Seeding
[edit ]Teams were allocated to League A after the conclusion of the promotion/relegation matches and Nations League Finals of the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League on 28 February 2024. Teams were split into four pots of four teams, ordered based on their overall ranking.[2] [3]
