Format
League C consisted of the teams ranked 33rd and lower, according to the Women’s European Qualifiers overall phase rankings (based on the Women's Euro 2025 qualifying overall ranking, taking into consideration promotion/relegation at the conclusion of that competition),[1] split into three groups of four teams and three groups of three teams.[2] Each team played a total of six matches if in a four-team group, or four matches if in a three-team group, against other members of the same group using the home-and-away round-robin format with double matchdays in February, April, and May/June 2025.[2][3]
The competition also acted as the first phase of the qualifying competition for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup, which used an identical league structure. The six group winners were promoted to League B for the 2027 Women's World Cup qualifying competition. In addition, the two best-ranked runners-up of League C advanced to the promotion play-offs against the two best-ranked third-placed teams of League B. The winners of the home-and-away ties entered League B for the 2027 Women's World Cup qualifying competition, while the losers entered League C.[3][2]
Seeding
Teams were allocated to League C according to the Women’s European Qualifiers overall phase rankings,[1] and were seeded into three pots of six teams and one pot of three teams, based on the same ranking.[2][3]
Gibraltar and Liechtenstein entered the tournament for the first time, having not entered in the previous edition. This was both women's teams' first official competitive international tournament.[4][5][6]
The draw for the league phase took place at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on 7 November 2024 at 13:00 CET. For political reasons Armenia and Azerbaijan could not be drawn in the same group. Due to excessive travel restrictions, Kazakhstan could not be drawn into a group containing more than one of Andorra, Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, or Malta.[2]
