Vilhjálmsdóttir, with Iceland, has a good chance of direct qualification for the tournament running from 2 to 27 July 2025.

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.
