Austria’s national women’s football team has finally got a ticket for EM 2022 in England.
Since Portugal won only 2–0 against Scotland (Group E) in Larnaca, the BFB team is definitely among the top three runners-up who qualify for the finals along with the pool winners. For Austria, this is the second European Championship partnership since 2017, when at the premiere it was sensational in a penalty shootout with only 0: 3 in the semi-final against Denmark.
