Who has been called up?

Two Hammers players are likely to go head-to-head on Friday, as Kirsty Smith and Oona Siren battle for a place at UEFA Women’s Euro 2025. Smith’s Scotland dispatched Hungary 5-0 in the two-legged Play-Off semi-final during the October international break, while Siren and Finland scored six unanswered goals across two games to ease past Montenegro.

Goalkeeper Kinga Szemik and Poland are a step closer to qualifying for their first-ever major tournament, with Austria standing in their way after 2-1 and 4-1 successes against Romania last month.

Meanwhile, Amber Tysiak once again joins up with Belgium as they look to secure qualification over two legs against Ukraine. The centre-back’s side reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2022.
