Qualification system edit

31 teams registered for participation and competed for 20 places at the final tournament. Great Britain withdraw late which would have been the 32nd team. The teams were drawn into seven groups of four and one group with three teams. It was later confirmed that Great Britain withdrew because no round 1 was played as planned. Thus, Great Britain, couldn't afford to participate in the home and away round 2.[1] The top-two placed teams in each group qualified for the final tournament, alongside the four best-ranked third-placed teams, not counting the matches against fourth-placed teams.

Draw edit

The draw took place on 20 April 2023.[2][3]

The seeding was announced on 14 April 2023.[2]
