England qualify for Euro 2025 with Sweden draw

SPORTS 16.07.2024

Reigning champions England held on for a goalless draw against Sweden in their final women's Euro 2025 qualifier on Tuesday to book their place at next year's finals, as Italy and the Netherlands also qualified.

Text size:

Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses knew they would secure a top-two finish in Group A3 and qualify automatically for the tournament next July in Switzerland if they avoided defeat.

England created few chances in Gothenburg but clung on despite late pressure from 1984 winners Sweden, who would have qualified themselves with a victory.

The Scandinavians finished third in the group and will have to settle for a place in the play-offs to be played later this year.

Elsewhere, Italy and the Netherlands progressed from Group A1, in which all four teams still had a chance of going through ahead of Tuesday's fixtures.

Italy romped to a 4-0 victory over Finland to finish top, while the Dutch secured second place with a 1-1 draw against Norway.
