Next up in October, the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015™ Qualifiers will conclude in Africa (via an eight-nation field in Namibia), CONCACAF (via a seven-nation field in USA), and Oceania (via a four-nation field in Papua New Guinea).

The European playoffs will also get underway, with Netherlands to face Scotland and Italy to face Ukraine (with only one of the four nations to qualify in November).

All 24 finalists will be known by late November.
