England women’s under-17 and under-19 teams have learned who they will take on in round one of qualifying for their respective 2023-24 UEFA European Women's Championship.

The draw for round one of qualifying for both competitions was made on Friday morning.

Qualification involves rounds one and two, where the teams are divided into League A and B.

After round one, the top three teams in each of the seven groups within League A will have the chance to qualify for the EUROs in round two of qualification, where they will be joined in mini groups by the top teams from the groups in League B.

The winner of the seven League A round two qualification groups will then join the hosts in the eight-team Finals tournaments next summer.
