UEFA qualification through the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup

Nine teams from UEFA competed at the World Cup, with the three best-placed European teams earning an Olympic qualification place. Three UEFA teams reached the semi-finals of the World Cup, which earned an Olympic qualification place for Great Britain (through England's performance), the Netherlands and Sweden, with Sweden eliminating reigning Olympic champions Germany.

Great Britain qualified through England's performance in the World Cup (a procedure already successfully employed by Team GB in field hockey and rugby sevens), based on a format agreed by the four British football associations (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales). Scotland also qualified for the World Cup but, under the agreement whereby the highest ranked home nation is nominated to compete for the purposes of Olympic qualification, their performance was not taken into account. Scotland players, along with Welsh and Northern Irish players, will be eligible for the Great Britain team in Tokyo. [3]
