Defending champions England and debutants Wales are in the same Euro 2025 group in Switzerland as France and the Netherlands.

Pot two meant the Lionesses would face either the Swiss hosts or a similarly high-ranked opponent. Despite avoiding Spain and Germany in their group, they still face a challenging path to the knockout stage.

The final Group D match between England and Wales will occur in St. Gallen on Sunday, July 13th.

The global rankings for women’s football show England (4th), Wales (30th), Netherlands (10th), and France (11th).

As a result of the draw, Wiegman will coach against the Netherlands—her former team, whom she guided to a Euro 2017 win and a second-place finish in the 2019 World Cup.

England’s manager Wiegman expressed excitement for Euro 2025, while Wales’ record-capped player, Jess Fishlock, called their qualification “well-deserved and a truly special moment.”

Led by Rhian Wilkinson, Wales qualified for their first major women’s tournament after a 3-2 aggregate win over the Republic of Ireland in a playoff.

England qualified for the next round by finishing second in their group, behind France.

Switzerland will host the 16-team European Championship at eight venues from July 2nd to the 27th.

A 156% increase in prize money brings the tournament’s total pot to £34m (€41m), more than double the Euro 2022 amount.
