2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification – UEFA Group E

UEFA Group E of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification competition consists of six teams: Denmark, Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Azerbaijan, Malta, and Montenegro. 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 16 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 first round if they are one of the other six runners-up among all nine groups (not counting results against the sixth-placed team).[3]

On 28 February 2022, Russia was suspended from the competition.[4][5] On 2 May 2022, UEFA officially announced that Russia was no longer allowed to take part in the competition, and therefore Denmark qualified for the tournament with two games to spare.[6][7][8]
