UEFA Group C of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification competition consists of five teams: Netherlands, Iceland, Czech Republic, Belarus, and Cyprus. The composition of the nine groups in the qualifying group stage was decided by the draw held on 30 April 2021,[1] with the teams seeded according to their coefficient ranking.[2] The group is played in home-and-away round-robin format between 17 September 2021 and 6 September 2022, with a pause for the Women's Euro 2022 in July. The group winners qualify for the final tournament, while the runners-up advance to the play-offs second round if they are one of the three best runners-up among all nine groups (counting results against the fifth-placed team).[3] Due to the Belarus' involvement in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the country is required to play its home matches at neutral venues behind closed doors until further notice.[4] The Dutch Football Association has announced that the representative teams of the Netherlands will not play against national teams of Russia and Belarus until further notice.[5] However on 6 May 2022, they announced the Netherlands would play the match against Belarus behind closed doors on 28 June 2022.
