The reigning European champions England have been drawn in the “group of death” with France, Sweden and the Republic of Ireland as they bid to secure qualification for the 2025 Euros.

“It’s a tough draw but it is a really exciting draw,” the England head coach, Sarina Wiegman, said. “Of course, we all went into the draw knowing that Sweden – one of the top countries – would be in pot three because of their Nations League performance in 2023 so with France, Sweden, and Ireland in our group, it will be very competitive. It’s exciting and now we just have to show up and perform. For the fans and for football it is really good because it will be so competitive.”
