Article body
Iceland's first qualification for a UEFA Women's EURO in 2009 caused something of a national sensation but it was no one-off as they are now in their fifth final tournament in a row. Only in 2013 did they get past the group stage, last time out in England drawing all three games against Belgium, Italy and, dramatically, France. However, their qualifying displays – not least beating Germany – underline the threat Iceland pose.

Iceland coach: Thorsteinn Halldórsson
When Halldórsson was appointed at the start of 2021 he brought a huge amount of experience in the female and male club games. As a player he had spells with KR Reykjavík, Hafnarfjördur, Thróttur, Valur and HK Kópavogs, and was capped at Under-19 and U21 level by Iceland.
His first coaching role was with Fram women in 1993 but he entered management full time eight years later with Stjarnan, moving on to Haukar, Thróttur, KV and Breidablik, where he won three league titles between 2014 and 2020. Halldórsson's Iceland team drew all three games at UEFA Women's EURO 2022. He is the father of Icelandic men's international Jón Dagur Thorsteinsson.
