2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification – UEFA Group I

UEFA Group I of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification competition consists of six teams: France, Wales, Slovenia, Greece, Kazakhstan, and Estonia. The composition of the nine groups in the qualifying group stage was decided by the draw held on 30 April 2021, ^[1] with the teams seeded according to their coefficient ranking. ^[2]

The group is played in home-and-away round-robin format between 17 September 2021 and 6 September 2022, with a pause for the Women's Euro 2022 in July. The group winners qualify for the final tournament, while the runners-up advance to the play-offs first round if they are one of the other six runners-up among all nine groups (not counting results against the sixth-placed team). ^[3]
