2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification – UEFA Group E

(Redirected from 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification - UEFA Group E)

UEFA Group E of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification competition consists of six teams: Denmark, Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Azerbaijan, Malta, and Montenegro. The composition of the nine groups in the qualifying group stage was decided by the draw held on 30 April 2021, with the teams seeded according to their coefficient ranking.

The group is played in home-and-away round-robin format between 16 September 2021 and 6 September 2022, with a pause for the Women's Euro 2022 in July. The group winners qualify for the final tournament, while the runners-up advance to the play-offs first round if they are one of the other six runners-up among all nine groups (not counting results against the sixth-placed team).

On 28 February 2022, Russia was suspended from the competition. On 2 May 2022, UEFA officially announced that Russia was no longer allowed to take part in the competition, and therefore Denmark qualified for the tournament with two games to spare.
