England Women have qualified for next year’s European Championship in Switzerland after a 0-0 draw in Sweden
It needed “bodies on the line” and some old-fashioned stubborn defending to see it out late on, but they got there – just. Right now, they will not care too much about how. England are going to the 2025 Women’s European Championship in Switzerland to defend their title, after securing automatic qualification with a nervy goalless draw in Sweden, and they have shown they are not going to give up their crown lightly.and slipped down to third in the “group of death”.
Before kick-off, the job for each side had been simple: to qualify automatically Sweden needed a victory, while England needed to avoid defeat. Nonetheless, Wiegman had vowed that her team would try to win this game and hopefully even top the group ahead of France. By the latter stages of the second half, however, her side were hanging on at times. But they showed the character of champions to hold off Sweden. For long spells, though, they were in full control.
Scotland and Wales join the Irish in the playoffs, with Kirsty Hanson scoring the winner against Serbia in Glasgow that enabled the Scots to top Group B2, while goals from Jess Fishlock and Mary McAteer in a 2-0 win over Kosovo ensured the Welsh topped Group B4.
