The Women's Euro 2022 groups for next summer's tournament in England have been decided, with the hosts and Northern Ireland facing each other before the knockouts.
The Lionesses will be kicking the tournament off as hosts in Group A, avoiding Germany, the reigning champions Netherlands, and France, who are in groups B, C and D respectively.
England's Lionesses, who reached the World Cup semi-final in 2019, will kick-off Women's Euro 2022 with a game against Austria at Old Trafford on July 6.
