UEFA

League A of the 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League will determine the European nations for the Summer Olympics, with the top two eligible teams of the Finals (not including France) qualifying for the Olympics.[7] England have been nominated to attempt qualification on behalf of Great Britain. Accordingly, Scotland and Wales could not qualify for the Games,[8] even if they had reached the Nations League A Finals. A controversy arose ahead of matchday six; England had to defeat Scotland to have the best chance of advancing to the Nations League Finals and qualify a Great Britain team to the Olympics. This meant that Scottish players had the best chance to play in the Olympics if they were to lose the match.[9]
