UEFA Women's Euro 2013

UEFA Women's Euro 2013 (also known as UEFA Euro 2013) was the 11th edition of the UEFA Women's European Championship. The defending champions were Germany. They successfully defended their title with a 1-0 win over Norway, after getting revenge from their group stage match.

This was one of the two UEFA Women's Euro tournaments to feature 12 teams, along with the 2009 tournament. From the 2017 tournament in the Netherlands and onwards, this will include 16 teams or more; with middle ranked countries giving a better chance to qualify for the UEFA Euro Championships (this extension was the same for the men's UEFA Euro 2016).

Host selection
The hosts were selected in 2010, and Sweden won the right to host UEFA Women's Euro 2013. Some of the UEFA Euro qualifying didn't run into the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Qualified teams
12 teams qualified for the final tournament. No team made their debut in 2013. Almost every team from 2009 qualified expect the Ukraine national team, who lost their playoff against Iceland.

The Spain women's national football team returned to a major tournament for the first time since the 1997 UEFA Women's Championship, where they eventually made the semifinals. Spain would also qualify themselves for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup as a European representative.
