This is from the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup Wikipedia site:
Qualifying teams for Summer Olympics[edit]
The World Cup will be used by UEFA to qualify three teams for the 2020 Summer Olympic women's football tournament in Japan.[105] The three European teams with the best World Cup results (considering only the round they reach) will qualify. The scenario where there are teams in contention for Olympic spots eliminated in the same round,[106] is no longer applicable.
For the first time, as per the agreement between the four British football associations (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales), Great Britain will attempt to qualify for the Olympics through England's performance in the World Cup (a procedure already successfully employed by Team GB in field hockey and rugby sevens). Scotland also qualified for the World Cup but, under the agreement whereby the highest ranked home nation is nominated to compete for the purposes of Olympic qualification, their performance will not be taken into account. In effect, therefore, eight European teams will be competing for three qualification places.[45][107]
