In the UEFA qualification for the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup, the 25 teams belonging to the First Category of European women's football were drawn into five groups, from which the group winners qualified for the World Cup finals.
Of these, the latter three had qualified for the 2003 World Cup, while Denmark and England qualified over France (second in England's group) and Russia (second in Germany's group).
Teams in this Category had no chance to qualify to the World Cup.
The play-off winners would then participate in the first category of UEFA Women's Euro 2009 qualifying.
However, the play-offs were cancelled after UEFA changed the qualifying format to no longer be split into two divisions.
