Following the completion of ABN AMRO EHL Women and the EuroHockey Trophy I tournaments last week, the make-up of the qualifiers for next season’s EHL is almost complete.

The Netherlands remains in top spot following SCHC’s victory while Belgium stay second in the EHL Ranking Table.

They both retain two spots in the EHL along with Germany and Spain who remain in third and fourth place, respectively. England and Ireland retain one spot in EHL Women in fifth and sixth place.

The big mover is France who will have their first EHL Women’s contender in 2027 thanks to Saint Germain’s third and Lille MHC’s fifth place at the EuroHockey Club Trophy I in Vienna last week.

The remaining spot will be formally confirmed after the EuroHockey Club Trophy II in Alanya with Scotland currently in pole position to take that ticket.
