Ukraine is the last obstacle for access to the 2011 World Championships in Germany. The Norwegians were facilitated by the draw and thus avoided Sweden, France or England. The first round of the match will be played at Nadderud Stadium in Bærum, next to the Stabæk Women's team, which has several national players.

The four winners of this stage of the playoffs will ensure the direct transition to the final phase of the World Cup, while the other four national teams will have another chance in which they meet in a knockout competition. The winner of the four then plays the no. 3 team CONCACAF.

The finals are in Germany the 26 June-17 July 2011.

The draw was:

Ukraine / Norway
Sweden / Denmark
France / Italy
Switzerland against England.

The playoffs will be played on the 11 / 12 September and 15 / 16. Dates will be developed soon.
