Women's U19 EURO round 2 draw

The UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship round 2 draw has set groups for both leagues.

The teams are split into two leagues as set by round 1.

The groups played between either 17 and 26 February or 31 March and 8 April will decide the seven teams who join hosts Poland in the finals from 15 to 27 June, as well as promotion and relegation between the leagues.

Each group will be a mini-tournament in one of the competing nations, to be confirmed. Poland will take part in League A although their finals place is assured as hosts.

The final tournament will also act as UEFA's qualifier for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, also in Poland.

How the draw worked

Based on round 1 results, the 28 teams allocated to League A were divided into four draw pots as follows:

Pot 1: France, Spain, Germany, Norway, Austria, Italy, Netherlands

Pot 2: Poland, Sweden, Republic of Ireland, Portugal, Denmark, Czechia, Belgium

Pot 3: Scotland, England, Serbia, Finland, Greece, Slovakia, Iceland

Pot 4: Wales, Belarus, Switzerland, Slovenia, Ukraine, Romania, Israel

Draw condition

Therefore the following pairs of teams could not meet:

Germany & Denmark
France & Portugal
Norway & Republic of Ireland
Italy & Poland
Austria & Czechia
Spain & Belgium
Netherlands & Sweden

Draw procedure

The 28 teams were drawn into seven groups of four teams. The draw started with Pot 1, which contained seven balls. The drawn teams were assigned to the groups in ascending order from A1 to A7, except if a draw condition applied.

• A first ball was drawn and the team assigned to Group A1.
• A second ball was drawn and the team assigned to Group A2.
• A third ball was drawn and the team assigned to Group A3.
• A fourth ball was drawn and the team assigned to Group A4.
• A fifth ball was drawn and the team assigned to Group A5.
• A sixth ball was drawn and the team assigned to Group A6.
• The seventh ball was drawn and the team assigned to Group A7.

The draw continued with Pot 2, Pot 3 and Pot 4 and followed the same rules as described above for Pot 1. When a draw condition occurred, the team drawn was allocated to the first available group in numerical order and another team was drawn to complete the position left free. Should this have been possible when drawing the last groups, the teams were drawn and assigned to the groups.

Qualification/relegation

• The seven League A group winners will qualify for the final tournament in Poland from 15 to 27 June, joining the hosts in the draw on 15 April. If Poland finish first in their group, the best runners-up will also qualify.
