From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

UEFA Group A of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification competition consists of five teams: Sweden, Finland, Republic of Ireland, Slovakia, and Georgia. The composition of the nine groups in the qualifying group stage was decided by the draw held on 30 April 2021,[1] with the teams seeded according to their coefficient ranking.[2]

The group is played in home-and-away round-robin format between 17 September 2021 and 6 September 2022, with a pause for the Women's Euro 2022 in July. The group winners qualify for the final tournament, while the runners-up advance to the play-offs second round if they are one of the three best runners-up among all nine groups (counting results against the fifth-placed team).[3]
