Women’s Euro 2025 draw: England and Wales in same group

Defending champions England and debutants Wales have been drawn in the same group for Euro 2025 in Switzerland, with France and the Netherlands joining them.

The Lionesses were in pot two so were always going to face either hosts Switzerland or one of the other top teams. They avoided being in the same group as 2023 World Cup winners Spain or eight-time Euros winners Germany.

England and Wales will meet in the final round of group fixtures on 13 July in St Gallen.

Sarina Wiegman’s Lionesses are ranked fourth in the world, Wales are 30th, the Netherlands are 10th and France are 11th.

The 16-team tournament takes place across eight venues in Switzerland from 2-27 July.

Rhian Wilkinson’s Wales beat the Republic of Ireland 3-2 on aggregate in their play-off to reach their first major women’s tournament.

England booked their place by finishing as runners-up in their qualification group.
