FIFA Women's World Cup 2011 qualification (UEFA)
In the UEFA qualification for FIFA Women's World Cup 2011, 41 entrants were drawn into eight groups, from which the group winners will advance to a play-off round. The four winners will advance directly to join Germany (the hosts) in the finals tournament, with the four losers playing two further knock-out rounds to determine a nation to play-off with the third-placed CONCACAF nation for a finals place.
This scheme was a significant change from previous editions of qualification as all entrants had the ability to advance to the final tournament. In previous years only those nations belonging to the First Category of European women's football were able to qualify, with a system approximating promotion and relegation between qualification tournaments operating.
Qualifying round
The qualifying round is scheduled from 15 August 2009 to 25 August 2010. The eight group winners advance to the play-off stages. The group were drawn on 17 March 2009.
