The FIFA council has decided on the same allocations by confederation for the 2019 Women’s World Cup as the previous tournament held in Canada. The decision means a total of nine UEFA teams, including host nation France, will compete.

At its meeting in Zürich, Switzerland on THU 13-FRI 14 OCT 2016, the council decided to keep the same allocations that were used at the 2015 Women’s World Cup, the first to be held with 24 teams. As a result, the qualifiers will conclude with one intercontinental playoff, between the fourth placed team in CONCACAF and the third placed team in CONMEBOL.

• Host: 1
• UEFA: 8
• AFC: 5
• CONCACAF: 3½
• CONMEBOL: 2½
• CAF: 3
• OFC: 1
