Switzerland: La Nati
Switzerland, ranked 23rd, aims to break their Euro curse with captain Lia Wälti and young talent Sydney Schertenleib leading the charge. Despite depth concerns, home advantage could boost their chances.
Norway: The Grasshoppers
Norway's star-studded squad, featuring Caroline Graham Hansen and Signe Gaupset, faces the challenge of inconsistency. With a strong history but recent struggles, reaching the quarterfinals is a realistic goal.
Iceland: Stelpurnar okkar
Despite defensive solidity led by Glódís Viggósdóttir, Iceland's lack of attacking prowess poses a challenge. Their realistic aim is to progress to the quarterfinals from a competitive group.
Finland: Helmarit
Emma Koivisto and Lilli Halttunen offer hope for Finland, ranked 25th, as they aim to exceed expectations. Coming from a tough group, advancing beyond the group stage would mark a significant achievement.

Spain, led by Aitana Bonmatí and Clàudia Pina, enter as strong contenders with a manageable group. While defensive vulnerabilities exist, a deep run to the semifinals is highly anticipated.
Portugal: As Navegadoras
Jéssica Silva and Andreia Jacinto face challenges as Portugal navigates a tough group. Progressing beyond the group stage would mark a historic achievement for the team.
Belgium: The Red Flames
Belgium, featuring Tessa Wullaert and Hannah Eurlings, aims for a quarterfinal repeat. While experienced, the team's age poses challenges, but they remain competitive in Group B.
Italy: Le Azzurre
Cristiana Girelli and Giulia Dragoni lead Italy's quest for success. Unpredictable but talented, Italy eyes a quarterfinal berth amidst tough competition in Group B.
