The last seven places at the tournament in Switzerland have been decided by the play-offs, with Wales reaching the first major tournament finals in their history after overcoming the Republic of Ireland.

Wales now await the draw on Monday, December 16 to see who they will face in Switzerland, having at last earned a place at Europe’s top table.

Norway and Sweden are former champions while Poland and Wales have earned a major tournament debut.

Republic of Ireland 1-2 Wales (agg: 2-3)

Wales are into their first major tournament after a pulsating game in Dublin.
Ireland had the better of the first half, Denise O’Sullivan hitting the bar, but Wales struck first when they were awarded a 50th-minute penalty for an Anna Patten handball and Hannah Cain coolly converted.
Jess Fishlock was forced off injured for Wales and replaced by Carrie Jones, who promptly made it 2-0 after being set up by first-leg scorer Lily Woodham.
Ireland pushed and pushed, and Patten pulled one back with a header in the closing stages, but Wales held on.

Czechia 1-2 Portugal (agg: 2-3)
Norway 3-0 Northern Ireland (agg: 7-0)
Finland 2-0 Scotland (agg: 2-0)
Belgium 2-1 Ukraine (agg: 4-1)
Austria 0-1 Poland (agg: 0-2)
Sweden 6-0 Serbia (agg: 8-0)
