Women's U19 EURO round 2: England, France, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden join Poland

UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship round 2 has decided the teams joining hosts Poland with promotion and relegation between the leagues also at stake.

The teams were split into two leagues as set by round 1. League A, ending on Tuesday, has decided the seven teams who join hosts Poland in the finals from 15 to 27 June.

Holders Spain, 2024 runners-up the Netherlands and beaten semi-finalists England and France are all back again after topping their groups. Italy and Portugal also ended in first place along with Poland, whose comeback victory against Germany to win their section in a three-way tie-breaker meant a slot opened up for the best runners-up, Sweden, to also qualify.

Poland took part in League A although their finals place was assured as hosts. The final tournament will act as UEFA's qualifier for the 2026 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, also in Poland from 5 to 27 September of that year.

Promotion and relegation between the two leagues ahead of 2025/26 round 1 was also at stake in both leagues. Estonia, promoted as the best runners-up in League B, will compete in League A for the first time.
