The last of the group marches in the first part of qualifying for the Women's 2025 Euros are just finishing. The guide to qualification and what happens next is below. It is not the simplest process.

Congratulations to England for qualifying

Be careful what you wish for is the maxim of the day. England fans were on Southgate's case for years about his unimaginative selections, but when his successor choses a radically attacking side and it all goes tits up, they are still not happy.

Still, at least it was only Nations League.

If they win their last match against Club Brugge who are only three points ahead of them, they will probably make the play off stage. Anything less, and they are gone. So yes, they could fail to get out of the League stage.
