Belgium’s Women’s‍ Soccer Team Awaits Euro⁢ 2025 ⁢Draw: Hoping to Avoid Familiar Foes

the Belgian Red Flames⁤ are gearing up for the​ UEFA women’s Euro 2025,with the tournament draw ​set to take place soon. While the team is prepared​ to face any opponent, captain Tessa⁢ Wullaert and head coach Ives Serneels have​ a shared wish: to avoid England and Spain.

“it would be perfect to avoid England and Spain,” Wullaert said. “We’ve played them too⁤ much recently.”

The sentiment is understandable. Belgium has faced both England and spain⁣ in ‍the past thirteen months, including during the UEFA Women’s Nations League and Euro qualifiers. ⁣⁤ they will also encounter thes teams again in the upcoming Nations League campaign, which ⁢begins in February and ‌includes Portugal​ as the third opponent.

Adding to the potential ‍for déjà vu, ⁣the Euro 2025 draw could place‌ Belgium in ⁢the same group as England and Spain once again.

However, a repeat of their Euro 2022 group ⁣stage ‌opponents,⁤ iceland and Italy, is impossible as both teams​ are in the same pot for the draw.

Hoping for ‌a Favorable Draw

Landing ‍in Group A, hosted by Switzerland, would offer Belgium the least daunting​ opponent ⁤from Pot⁣ 1, along with a match against⁤ a⁣ Pot 4 team on the opening day at the arena in Thoune. The tournament kicks off on July 2nd at Parc Saint-Jacques in Basel, with Switzerland facing the Pot‍ 2 ⁣team.

Belgium could also benefit from being placed in Group B or Group D, which would ⁣likely involve less travel.⁣ The final is scheduled‌ for‍ July 27th in Basel.

Belgium’s Red Flames hoping to Avoid Familiar Foes in Euro 2025 ⁤Draw

With the⁢ UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 ‍draw just around the corner, the Belgian‌ Red ​Flames​ are expressing a hope to avoid facing familiar opponents England and Spain.

“It would be perfect to avoid England and Spain,” Captain Tessa ​Wullaert stated.”We’ve played them too much recently.”

This desire stems from Belgium’s numerous encounters with both teams within ⁣the last thirteen months, including during the UEFA Women’s nations League​ and Euro qualifiers. They are also scheduled to play England and Spain again in the⁤ upcoming Nations League campaign, which begins in February and ​also includes portugal as an opponent.

The⁢ Euro 2025 draw could potentially ‌place Belgium in the same⁢ group as England and Spain once again, creating a sense of déjà vu for‌ the team. ‌

Though, a repeat of their Euro 2022 group stage opponents, Iceland and Italy, is impossible as both teams ⁢are in the same pot for the⁣ draw.

Belgium views Group A, hosted by Switzerland, as a potentially more favorable ‍draw due to​ the less daunting opponent from ⁢Pot ⁤1. This group would also feature a ⁣match against a Pot 4 team on the opening day at the arena⁤ in Thoune.

Groups B and D are also seen as potentially advantageous due to less travel required.

The tournament kicks off​ on July 2nd at Parc Saint-Jacques ⁤in Basel with ‍Switzerland facing the Pot 2 team. The final is scheduled for July 27th in Basel.
