Scotland’s Women’s squad will face the Czech Republic in the first round of the World Cup play‑offs, a two‑legged tie that could see them reach Brazil next summer. Melissa Andreatta’s side topped League B, edging Belgium, and earned a seeded spot in path two of the draw. Eight teams will advance to the finals in the arena.

The first leg will be played away for Scotland, with the hosts returning for the second encounter. The Czechs finished second in their group behind Wales, while Scotland finished top of theirs. A win on aggregate would set up a clash with the winner of the Lithuania‑Sweden decider, where Lithuania topped League C and Sweden came third in League A.

Denmark, France, Germany and Spain already secured spots after winning League A groups, leaving Scotland to chase a place through the playoff gauntlet. A triumph over the Czechs would propel them toward a face‑off with Lithuania or Sweden, whose performances in their respective leagues have positioned them as tough opponents. The outcome will decide Scotland’s qualification destiny for the 2027 Women’s World Cup in South America during a global event.
