About FIFA Women's World Cup Qualifying
History, Format, Organization, Media Coverage
The FIFA Women’s World Cup Qualification is the path a national women’s soccer team must follow to secure a spot in the FIFA Women’s World Cup. It usually begins one year before the Women’s World Cup celebration, although some confederations may choose a lengthier way to name the teams that play in the quadrennial competition.
As mentioned before, each confederation oversees the qualification method, mainly due to the number of teams that can gain access to the tournament. The number of slots available for each confederation is determined by FIFA before the World Cup Qualifiers begin. Aside from the host, which qualifies automatically, there are 31 slots to be filled by nations from all over the world, and FIFA has handed them out as follows:
AFC: 6 teams
CAF: 4 teams
Concacaf: 4 teams
CONMEBOL: 2 teams
OFC: 1 team
UEF@@A@@ 11 teams
Inter-confederation playoffs: 3 slots
The qualification process for all confederations differs due to the number of teams involved in each tournament. Qualifying matches are set to begin in February 2025, while the end of the process is expected to take place in February 2027 with the inter-confederation playoffs.
As things stand, here is the method used by each confederation to allocate the available spots for the FIFA Women’s World Cup:
AFC: The four semifinalists in the Women’s Asian Cup qualify for the Women’s World Cup. Four more teams battle for the two remaining direct spots to play in the tournament. Those teams who lose their playoff ties enter the inter-confederation playoffs.
CAF: The top four teams in the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations make it to the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Two more slots are available via inter-confederation playoffs.
Concacaf: The four semifinalists from the Concacaf W Championship advance to the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Two more teams gain access to the inter-confederation playoffs.
CONMEBOL: The South American confederation is set to unveil a new qualifying method, where all nine teams face their rivals in a double round-robin. The two top teams in the competition earn their spot in the Women’s World Cup, while those who finish in third and fourth enter the inter-confederation playoffs.
OFC: The Women’s World Cup Qualification winner earns a spot in the Women’s World Cup. The runner-up qualifies for the inter-confederation playoffs.
UEF@@A@@ European teams are divided into three leagues: League A, League B, and League C. Each league is divided into groups: Leagues A and B in four groups of four, while League C includes six groups of three. The winners from all League A groups qualify for the Women’s World Cup, while those who fail to win the group enter a league playoff stage against teams from League B and C. Three League B teams per group reach the playoff stage, where they are joined by at least one team from each group in League C. The three best teams from that qualification process earn a spot in the World Cup, while another team from this region enters the inter-confederation playoffs.
Inter-confederation playoffs: All ten teams are drawn considering the FIFA Women’s World Ranking. Two from Concacaf, one from CONMEBOL, and one more from UEFA get byes for Round 2, while the lower-ranked six enter two pathways to claim a spot in the final round. The same system is used to draw all six teams into three pathways, where the winners get the right to claim a place in the Women’s World Cup.
