England Women learn their fate for Euros next summer after draw - as Sarina Wiegman's side are handed tricky opening tie to begin title defence England Women will begin their title defence of the European Championships next summer and have been handed a difficult draw against debutants Wales, as well as France and the Netherlands.
This meant that they were destined to be drawn against either Switzerland as hosts (23rd), France (11th), world champions Spain (second) or Euros runners-up Germany (third), who were all positioned above the Lionesses in the FIFA world rankings.
Wales, ranked 30th in the world, will play Netherlands on July 5, France on July 9.
England Women will play Wales, France and the Netherlands at next summer's Euro 2025.
Sarina Wiegman’s team famously won the Euros in 2022 at Wembley, and that tournament drew record-breaking crowds as 365 million people tuned in or attended games.
