The UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying League C is the third and lowest division of the 2025 edition of qualifying for the UEFA Women's Championship, the international football competition involving the women's national teams of the member associations of UEFA. The results will also be used to determine the leagues for the 2025–26 UEFA Women's Nations League competition.
Format
League C consists of 19 UEFA members ranked 33rd to 51st among competition entrants in the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League ranking, split into four groups of four (Groups 1 to 4) and one group of three (Group 5). Each team will play six matches (in four-team groups) or four matches (in three-team group) within their group, using the home-and-away round-robin format with double matchdays in April, May to June, and July 2024.[1]
After the league phase, the winners of each group and the three best group runners-up will advance to the play-offs to determine who qualifies for the final tournament.[2]
The competition also acts as the first phase for the 2025–26 UEFA Women's Nations League, which will use an identical league structure. The winners of each group will be promoted to League B.[1][2]
Seeding
Teams were allocated to League B according to their ranking after the conclusion of the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League Promotion and relegation matches on 28 February 2024. Teams were split into four pots of four teams, ordered based on their UEFA Nations League ranking.[2]
