International football competition
League C of UEFA Women's Euro 2025 qualifying was the third and lowest division of qualifying for UEFA Women's Euro 2025 , the international football competition involving the women's national teams of the member associations of UEFA . The results were also used to determine the leagues for the 2025 UEFA Women's Nations League competition.
Format
League C consists of 19 UEFA members ranked 33rd to 51st among competition entrants in the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League ranking, split into four groups of four (Groups 1 to 4) and one group of three (Group 5). Each team played six matches (in four-team groups) or four matches (in three-team group) within their group, using the home-and-away round-robin format with double matchdays in April, May to June, and July 2024.
After the league phase, the five group winners and the three best group runners-up advanced to the play-offs to determine who qualifies for the final tournament . For the first play-off round the eight League C teams were unseeded, and drawn against the eight lowest-ranked teams in League A . The winner of those ties will advance to the second round.
The competition also acted as the first phase for the 2025 UEFA Women's Nations League , which will use an identical league structure. The five group winners were promoted to League B.
Seeding
Teams were allocated to League C after the conclusion of the 2023–24 Women's Nations League promotion/relegation matches on 27 February 2024. Teams were split into three pots of five teams and one pot of four teams, ordered based on their overall ranking .
^ Bulgaria, Latvia, Montenegro, Northern Ireland, Slovakia, and Ukraine participated in the League B vs League C promotion/relegation matches in February 2024 to determine each team's league allocation.
The draw took place in Nyon , Switzerland on 5 March 2024 at 13:00 CET. Groups 1 to 4 contained one team from each pot, while Group 5 contained one team from Pots 1 to 3. The draw started with Pot 1 and ended with Pot 4, with drawn teams assigned to the first available group in ascending order from C1 to C5. The teams that previously played in three-team groups in the 2023-24 Women's Nations League (Bulgaria and North Macedonia), were drawn into four-team groups for this competition.
