Women’s Euro qualifiers: Who’s playing who? When? What time? How do I watch? And which WSL stars are involved?
The Women’s Euro qualifiers get back underway this coming week with 28 matches in total to look forward to.
This round of qualifiers will end on September 22 before they resume on October 21.
Here’s all you need to know including full schedule, postponement and squad news.
Key players
There are a lot of international stars who will take to the pitch in coming days but here are a few familiar faces from the Women’s Super League.
Vivianne Miedema
Arsenal’s Vivianne Miedema is featured in Netherlands manager Sarina Wiegman’s squad for their match against Russia.
She is already off to a flying start in the WSL having scored four goals in two matches for the Gunners.
Jess Fishlock
Reading star Jess Fishlock, on loan from OL Reign, has returned to the Welsh squad for the first time in 18 months after she injured an anterior cruciate ligament.
She will be hoping to get some international game time and hopefully a goal to go with it in their fixture against Norway.
Pernille Harder
The Danish star has just signed for WSL side Chelsea in a world-record fee and got her scoring in the league off to a start this weekend in the Blues’ match against Bristol City.
While she hasn’t had a lot of time to impress in the WSL, she scored 27 goals in 22 league games for former club VfL Wolfsburg last season.
Denmark may rely on her for their two qualifiers over the next few weeks against Bosnia and Herzegovina and Malta.
Angharad James
Reading star Angharad James is once again involved in the Welsh set-up for their match against Norway.
She will want to improve on the side’s two draws with Northern Ireland last year to see them through to the Euros in 2022.
Jill Roord
Probably the player who has impressed most since the WSL’s return is Netherlands star Jill Roord. She has scored hat tricks in both of Arsenal’s games.
She will be hoping to replicate her club form on the international stage against Russia.
How do fans watch?
The games are available to stream on respective TV channels of the home nations involved, for example, Wales’ match against Norway will be streamed on the BBC’s website.
UEFA’s website will also be updating the live scores of all matches.
