The men’s Euro 2020 (which was held last year after a delay due to the coronavirus pandemic) was a fantastic tournament, and the women’s version (which was also pushed back 12 months) will hope to follow suit. The tournament, which will be hosted by England and will be held between July 6 and July 31, will feature 16 European nations.
This will be the 13th edition of a tournament which began in 1984 – 23 years after the inaugural men’s equivalent. Only four teams competed in that first European Women’s Championship. The tournament expanded to eight sides in 1997, before rising to 16 in time for Euro 2017.
Forty-eight European nations entered the qualification process. The winner of all nine groups qualified automatically, along with the three best runners-up. The remaining six second-place finishers advanced to the play-offs, with the winners of the two-legged ties qualifying for the tournament. England were guaranteed a spot by virtue of being the host nation.

Spain are the favorites to win the Women’s Euro 2022. This is only their fifth appearance at the tournament, and they have never reached the final before. However, Spain did make it through to the last four in 2017 and they qualified in impressive fashion with 22 points from a possible 24.
England are the second-favorites. They finished fourth at the 2019 Women’s World Cup and will benefit from playing this competition on home soil. France, who qualified with the same number of points as Spain, are next in line.
The Netherlands are the reigning champions but they are only fourth in the list of favorites for the Women’s Euro 2020. Germany, the most successful nation in this competition’s history, are joint-fifth with Sweden in the pre-tournament odds.

The Netherlands won the Women’s Euro 2017. The host nation amassed maximum points in the group stage by beating Norway, Denmark and Belgium. They then knocked out Sweden in the quarter-finals and England in the semi-finals, before a 4-2 triumph over Denmark in the showpiece event in front of more than 28,000 fans in Enschede.

European Women’s Championship Winners | Victories | Years |
West Germany/Germany | 8 | 1989, 1991, 1995, 1997, 2001, 2005, 2009, 2013 |
Norway | 2 | 1987, 1993 |
Sweden | 1 | 1984 |
Netherlands | 1 | 2017 |
The 16 participating nations have been drawn into four groups of four, as you can see above. The draw was seeded to avoid the strongest sides being put into the same group. Pot 1, made up of the best teams (at least in theory), contained England, the Netherlands, Germany and France.
Each team will play three group games. The two sides with the most points in each group will advance to the quarter-finals. The winner of Group A will play the runner-up of Group B and vice versa, while the winner of Group C will play the runner-up of Group D and vice versa.
The victors in the quarter-finals will advance to the semi-finals, with the final due to be held on July 31.
England won the rights to host the tournament in 2018. No other country submitted a bid before the deadline, so there was never any doubt of where this European Women’s Championship would be staged.
A total of 10 stadia will be used for the event: Wembley Stadium and the Brentford Community Stadium in London; the Academy Stadium and Old Trafford in Manchester; Bramall Lane in Sheffield; St Mary’s in Southampton; the Amex Stadium in Brighton; Stadium MK in Milton Keynes; Leigh Sports Village in Leigh; and the New York Stadium in Rotherham.
The next edition of the tournament will be the Women’s Euro 2025. The host nation will be decided in December of this year, with the deadline for bids set for October. Poland, France, Switzerland/ Liechtenstein and Denmark/Norway/Finland/Sweden have already confirmed their intention to bid for the hosting rights.
Ukraine had initially intended to throw their hat into the ring, but the war in the country will almost certainly make that impossible.
Russia qualified for the Women’s Euro 2022 by finishing second behind the Netherlands in Group A, then beating Portugal in the play-offs. However, Russia were banned from the tournament following the invasion of Ukraine, so Portugal went through instead.
