Italy are about to find out which sides they will face on the road to qualification for Euro 2025. The draw is scheduled for 13:00 CET today in Nyon, Head Coach, Andrea Soncin, will be in attendance with the competition inaugurating its new format, linking the Nations League to European qualification: Teams are split into three leagues: League A with 16 teams, League B with 16 teams and League C with the remaining 19 teams based on the performance in the UEFA Women’s Nations League and will compete in groups of either 4 or 3 (League C) sides.

The Azzurre, second to Spain in their UWNL group that also included Sweden and Switzerland, will start in League A and will play against one of the top sides Spain, France, Germany, or the Netherlands (winners of their respective Nations League groups).

Qualifiers will be played between April and December 2024 and will decide the 15 sides that will take part in the competition in Switzerland (already qualified as the host country). The top two teams from each group in League A will go through to the final phase of the tournament, the other seven spots will be decided through two rounds of qualifying play-offs between October and November/December.

The table at the end of the group stage will also decide who is promoted and relegated between the leagues in the next edition of the UWNL, to take place between 2025 and 2027: the winners, second and third-placed sides in League A will remain in League A; the runners-up and three best-ranked third-placed teams in League B will remain in League B; the second, third, and fourth-placed teams in League C will remain in League C; the winners in League B and C will be promoted whilst the fourth-placed sides in League A and B and the lowest-ranked third-placed team of League B will be relegated.
