Vilhjálmsdóttir, with Iceland, has a good chance of direct qualification for the tournament running from 2 to 27 July 2025. They are sure of going through if the team holds onto second place in Group 4 of League A. Only Austria (four points) are in contention with Iceland (seven points). The team from Iceland are at home in Reykjavík on Friday 12 July against Germany who have already qualified with twelve points. The sixth and final group match is on Tuesday 16 July against Poland who have no points and are already knocked out.
Turányi will need a magnificent effort to qualify for the Euros. Hungary are first away to Azerbaijan on Friday night before a home game against Turkey on Tuesday night. The central defender and her team currently lie second in Group 1 of League B with four points and that position puts them in the play-offs. Azerbaijan and Turkey are also in the running with the group leaders Switzerland certain of qualifying as the hosts.

For the 21st time, Bayer 04 have supported the annual ‘BioBrotbox’ campaign, which puts together a healthy breakfast for first-year primary school pupils in Leverkusen – and not only contributed 1,904 muesli bars but also plenty of enthusiasm too: Together with the U19 players Burak Kir and Clinton Wilson, Emily Wallrabenstein and Paulina Platner from the Women’s Bundesliga team helped with the packing. The latter was clearly delighted “that Bayer 04 are helping out with regional projects like this and showing their commitment to the local community”.

Captain Edmond Tapsoba gave his new (and old) teammate a friendly shove forward to take in the acclaim from the fans. The returning Frenchman was typically reserved in thanking the supporters but was clearly emotional about what was happening.
