The last three weeks of the Women’s Euros have flown by, awash with incredible performances throughout all stages of the tournament.
As well as consistently dominant forces, like unbeaten world champions Spain, the competition has been a showcase of the continuing development of women’s football, such as the red wall of Wales supporters in the stands as the country celebrated their first Euros qualification.
What began as a 16-team competition across four groups has been reduced to just four as we move into semifinals week, which promises more fiery and ferocious displays of football expertise. Reigning champions England face Italy in Geneva before Spain and Germany battle it out in Zurich the next day.
The winners of these matches will then move forward to the final on Sunday in Basel, and a fight to lift the trophy and pocket the €5.1 million winner’s prize. But is there a third-place playoff at these finals?
Is there a third-place playoff at Women’s Euro 2025?

This just means more pressure for the four teams gearing up to fight it out in the semifinals to deliver a stellar performance worthy of going through.
