UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 quarterfinals: Qualified teams and full schedule

Several top teams, including holders England, world champions Spain, heavyweights Germany, and hosts Switzerland, remain contenders as the UEFA Women's Euros enters the high-stakes knockout stages. The tournament has drawn unprecedented attention with nearly half a million fans attending group-stage games. Eight teams are left, with hosts Switzerland reaching the quarterfinals for the first time, Spain living up to their favourites tag, and holders England advancing after an early scare.

The quarterfinals commence with Norway facing Italy in Geneva on Wednesday, July 16th. Norway topped Group A with a perfect nine points but showed defensive frailty, conceding five goals. They rely heavily on the experienced attacking duo of Ada Hegerberg and Caroline Graham Hansen. Italy, finishing second in Group B, are in the knockouts for the first time since 2013. Despite a recent barren spell, they believe their best football is ahead after navigating a tricky group stage. Midfielder Annamaria Serturini expressed the team's desire "to continue dreaming." The winner will face either Sweden or England in the semifinals.

England meets Sweden in Zurich on Thursday, July 17th. England recovered from an opening defeat to win their next two Group D games emphatically, scoring ten goals combined, showcasing the attacking prowess of Lauren James, Ella Toone, and Georgia Stanway. They face Sweden, whom they defeated 4-0 at the same stage during their Euro 2022 triumph.
