2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification – UEFA play-offsThe UEFA play-offs of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification competition involved the runners-up from all nine groups in the group stage. The play-offs consisted of two rounds of single-leg ties. The two best play-off winners, the Republic of Ireland and Switzerland, qualified for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, while the third winner, Portugal, advanced to the inter-confederation play-offs.[1][2] Ranking of second-placed teamsBecause some groups had six teams and others had five, matches against the sixth place team in each group are discounted. As a result, eight matches played by each team are counted for the purposes of determining the ranking.

Ranking of play-off winnersTo rank the three play-off winners, their results in their respective groups and round 2 of the play-offs were combined. As some groups had five teams and others had six, any group matches against teams who finished sixth in their groups were discounted; also, as not all teams played in both play-off rounds, results in round 1 of play-offs were not counted either. As a result, nine matches played by each team (eight in the group stage and one in round 2 of the play-offs) were counted for the purposes of determining the ranking. The two higher-placed winners qualified for the Women's World Cup and the lowest-placed winner advanced to the inter-confederation play-offs.[1][2]
