The procedure to decide the hosts for the finals began in July 2021. It will be possible to lodge a candidacy dossier until October 2022. The UEFA Executive Committee will decide the host nation – or host nations – in December of the same year.

In light of the ever-increasing popularity of women’s football, UEFA have raised the organisational standards for the 2025 tournament. By means of a flexible procedure, federations are recommended to put forward eight category 4 stadiums, with capacities ranging from 15,000 to 30,000 spectators.
