How the draw works
England are placed in position 1 in Group A and the 15 teams involved in the draw have been ranked based on the national team coefficient rankings, for which their results in the following competitions are used: UEFA Women’s EURO 2017 (qualifying and finals), FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019 (qualifying and finals), UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 (qualifying group stage).
Teams are divided into four ranking pots, with each group containing one nation from each ranking level. Pot 1 includes three teams (including the Netherlands, title holders) since England have already been allocated to position 1 in group A; in this pot, the teams are allocated to position 1 of the other groups in alphabetical order.
All other seed pots consist of four teams each, which are randomly assigned to positions 2 through 4 in each group. For this, four additional pots (pots A – D) with three balls each are used – Pot A: positions A2, A3 and A4; Pot B: positions B2, B3 and B4; Pot C: positions C2, C3 and C4; Pot D: positions D2, D3 and D4. The group positions determine the order of the matches in the group stage, as indicated in the match schedule.
