England book their place at Euro 2025 courtesy of a goalless draw against Sweden in their League A Group 3 finale, sealing a second-placed finish.
Reigning European champions England Women successfully booked their place at Euro 2025 courtesy of an uneventful goalless draw against Sweden Women in Gothenburg.
The Lionesses began the evening sitting second in League A Group 3, three points better off than Sweden and two behind leaders France, who travelled to basement side the Republic of Ireland.
As a result, Sarina Wiegman‘s side just needed to avoid defeat to ensure a place at next year’s tournament via direct qualification, as finishing third or fourth would have only sufficed for the playoffs.
The Euro 2022 champions did their bit at the Gamla Ullevi, despite coming under the cosh in the second half, although a surprise result in the other group game meant that England missed a golden opportunity to go through as group winners.
Indeed, France suffered a shock 3-1 loss to an Ireland side who had only scored once in their first five Euros qualifiers, but England’s stalemate meant that the Blues finished one point clear of Wiegman’s side with 12 compared to the Lionesses’ 11.
