Euro 2025, the group draw on the 16th: Italy in the second pot. Lots of pitfalls from the third

Yesterday evening the picture of the 16 participants in the Women’s European Championship which will be played this summer – from 2 to 27 July – in Switzerland was completed. The group draw will take place on 16 December at 6pm at the Swiss Tech Convention Center in Lausanne (Switzerland).

Italy will be placed in the second pot with Iceland, Denmark and England – who will therefore not be able to face the Italians – with a third pot which however hides important pitfalls such as the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway. There will instead be two absolute debutants in the competition, both in the fourth pot, like Wales and Poland. Below are the draw brackets:

First band: Switzerland, Spain, Germany, France
Second tier: Italy, Iceland, Denmark, England
Third band: Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Belgium
Fourth band: Finland, Poland, Portugal, Wales
