UEFA Women's Euro 2022 qualifying Group D
Group D of the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 qualifying competition consists of five teams: Spain, Czech Republic, Poland, Moldova, and Azerbaijan. The composition of the nine groups in the qualifying group stage was decided by the draw held on 21 February 2019, 13:30 CET (UTC+1), at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.[1] with the teams seeded according to their coefficient ranking.
The group is played in home-and-away round-robin format between August 2019 and December 2020. The group winners and the three best runners-up among all nine groups (not counting results against the sixth-placed team) qualify directly for the final tournament, while the remaining six runners-up advance to the play-offs.[2]
On 17 March 2020, all matches were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4]
