Defending champions England and debutants Wales have been drawn in the same group for Euro 2025 in Switzerland, with France and the Netherlands joining them.

The Lionesses were in pot two so were always going to face either hosts Switzerland or one of the other top teams. They avoided being in the same group as 2023 World Cup winners Spain or eight-time Euros winners Germany.

The 16-team tournament takes place across eight venues in Switzerland from 2-27 July.

Wales beat the Republic of Ireland 3-2 on aggregate in their play-off to reach their first major women's tournament.

England booked their place by finishing as runners-up in their qualification group.

Group A: Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Finland.

Group B: Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Italy.

Group C: Germany, Poland, Denmark, Sweden.

Group D: France, England, Wales, Netherlands.
