Background

The women's 400 metres was contested 37 times before 2025, at every previous edition of the European Athletics Indoor Championships (1970–2023). [2] [3] The 2025 European Athletics Indoor Championships will be held in Omnisport Apeldoorn in Apeldoorn, Netherlands. [4] The removable indoor athletics track was retopped for these championships in September 2024. [4]

Femke Bol of the Netherlands is the world and European record holder with a time of 49.17 s set in 2024. [5] Bol is also the 2021 and 2023 champion in this event. [3] [6] In January 2025, Bol announced that she would not seek to defend her European titles, solely focusing on the relays instead. [7] The championship record of 49.59 s was set by Jarmila Kratochvílová of Czechoslovakia in 1982. [3]
