Scotland face Germany, Netherlands and Sweden in Women's Nations League
Scotland have been drawn against Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden in the next Women's Nations League, setting up a December World Cup play-off rehearsal with Sweden.
Scotland have been drawn against Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden in the next edition of the women's Nations League. Melissa Andreatta's side were among the lowest seeds in the A division and will face three sides they have encountered in recent years.
The draw carries immediate significance because Scotland are preparing for a World Cup play-off against Sweden in December. The two countries last met in a 2021 friendly in Paisley, where the visitors won 2-0.
Scotland also know Germany and the Netherlands well from the 2025 competition. They suffered heavy defeats to Germany, losing 6-1 and 4-0, but their meetings with the Dutch were far tighter, including a 2-1 home defeat and a 1-1 draw in Tilburg. Earlier, in 2023, Scotland lost 4-0 and 1-0 to the Netherlands.
The schedule for the competition is set out across three windows in 2027: rounds one and two between 23 February and 6 March, rounds three and four from 13 to 24 April, and rounds five and six between 7 and 15 June. The draw offers Scotland a demanding test against three strong opponents, with the December play-off against Sweden giving the squad an early chance to measure itself against one of them.
