OLYMPIC QUALIFYING

The top three European finishers represent UEFA at the 2020 Olympic women's football tournament in Japan. Only the stage of the competition reached by the teams determined the entitlement of the teams to qualify, i.e. no other factors were taken into account, such as number of points or goal difference.

As Great Britain only enters one Olympic team, only England's results counted towards a possible British team in Japan rather than Scotland, as confirmed by FIFA following an agreement between the four British associations of England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
