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.
The quintet of Anne Moll, Paulina Bartz, Delice Boboy, Estrella Merino Gonzalez and Julia Mickenhagen are currently away with the Germany U19 squad preparing for the European Championships in Lithuania (14 to 27 July).

Villa Fiorito, River Plate, Ligue 1, the World Cup final and now Bayer 04: Facundo Medina’s life story so far has been shaped by special places, clubs, matches and names. One of them is Diego Maradona, who, like Medina, hailed from the south of Buenos Aires. Another is Exequiel Palacios, his former team-mate at River Plate, who was raving about Bayer 04 to him as recently as the World Cup in North America. Medina has now taken the plunge into the Bundesliga and, as an Argentine World Cup runner-up, has joined Bayer 04 from Olympique de Marseille this week. It is set to be the next successful chapter in his career. Leverkusen’s new number 2 brings with him a South American mentality and passion, a wealth of experience from many years in Ligue 1, and a fascinating story to the Rhineland – and to a club where the 1.84-metre-tall left-footed player will be reunited with Palacios and several other familiar faces.
