Women's EURO 2025 Fantasy Football: All you need to know and how to play

With UEFA Women's EURO 2025 fast approaching, fans around the world are joining UEFA's first Fantasy Football game – presented by AXA – for the tournament, giving managers the opportunity to call on the talents of some of Europe's best footballers to score points, dominate their leagues and win top prizes.

There is a notable change from UEFA Champions League Fantasy Football as there are no player prices, creating a simpler game that allows Fantasy managers to select their favourite players from the 16 competing teams.

There are unlimited transfers ahead of the first deadline on Matchday 1, so get involved early on and select your initial squad today.

Women's EURO Fantasy rules

• 15-player squad
• Goalkeepers x 2, Defenders x 5, Midfielders x 5, Forwards x 3
• No player prices – simply pick your all-star squad!
• Maximum of 3 players per team in group stage
• 3 free transfers every matchday in group stage
• Substitutions within a matchday
• Change captain to maximise points total

How do you score points in Women's EURO Fantasy?

There are plenty of ways to score points in Women's EURO Fantasy, but here are some of the key ones:

• Goals (4 points for forwards, 5 points for midfielders, 6 points for defenders and goalkeepers)
• Scoring from outside the box (1 point)
• Assists (3 points per player)
• Clean sheets (4 points for goalkeepers and defenders)
• Player of the Match (3 points)

Captain

A key way of maximising your points total is the ability to change your captain within matchdays. Just as you can make substitutions between days if your starting players don't score as heavily as you hope, you can switch captains too – and with double points on offer for the player who gets the armband, that's a great opportunity to register big scores.

It's worth remembering that not only can you not sub in or change captain to players who have already played in that matchday, but you're also not allowed to switch back,

Leagues

Want to challenge your mates? Why not set up a private league and give them the code to take you on and see who comes out on top over the course of the tournament?

There are also three public leagues – you'll automatically be entered into the overall leaderboard, while if you've saved your country of residence in your MyUEFA account, you'll be added to a league with other players from your country and if you've saved the country you support within the Leagues section, you'll be added to a league with other players who support the same country as you.
