The Hague Feb: Germany secured a place at the 2024 Paris Olympics women's football event with a 2-0 win over the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League's third-place play-off.

Klara Buhl and Lea Schuller struck second-half goals to give Germany victory in Heerenveen and, with it, the bronze medal and Europe's third berth in the Olympic women's football tournament alongside Spain and hosts France.

The third-place play-off in the Nations League was the last chance for the two teams to qualify for Paris 2024. Spain captured a ticket last Friday by defeating the Netherlands 3-0 in Seville in the semifinals of the tournament, while France, already assured an Olympic spot as the host, beat Germany 2-1.
