Women’s EURO 2022 group stage: Norway 4-1 Northern IrelandTeam guideNorway (1987 & 1993) and Sweden (1984) are former winners. Neither team have failed to qualify since the introduction of the group stage in 1997.In 2022, Sweden were semi-finalists and both Austria and Belgium made the last eight. Finland, Northern Ireland, Norway and Portugal also played in England.Scotland (2017) and Ukraine (2009) are also past qualifiers.The Republic of Ireland went to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup but have never qualified for Women’s EURO (meaning one of Slovakia, Wales, Georgia or Ireland will definitely make their debut in Switzerland).Czechia and Ukraine both missed out in the 2022 play-offs. Other past Women’s EURO play-off contenders involved this time but yet to make a finals debut are Romania (2017), Republic of Ireland (2009) and Slovenia (2009). Hungary reached the 1991 two-legged quarter-finals (when the final tournament consisted of four teams).Which first-round tie was in which path?
The first round of the play-offs is split into two paths.
Path 1
In Path 1, the teams finishing third and fourth in League A play the five group winners and three best-ranked runners-up in League C.
This path provided the seven seeds for the round 2 draw, namely the ties involving the seven highest-ranked teams based on the European Qualifiers overall league rankings.
Romania vs Poland
Greece vs Belgium
Montenegro vs Finland
Georgia vs Republic of Ireland
Slovenia vs Austria
Luxembourg vs Sweden
Belarus vs Czechia
Albania vs Norway
Path 2
Path 2 involves the top three teams from each of the League B groups. As Switzerland finished as a League B winner, the best-ranked fourth-placed team of League B (Azerbaijan) completed the round 1 path 2 play-off line-up, and the draw seeding for the six ties was adjusted accordingly.
The three group winners (other than Switzerland) and three best-ranked runners-up in League B were drawn into six ties against the remaining play-off contenders from League B.
Türkiye vs Ukraine
Croatia vs Northern Ireland
Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Serbia
Azerbaijan vs Portugal
Hungary vs Scotland
Slovakia vs Wales
