The Netherlands and Belgium were set as hosts and completed the field of 16 finalists.

    Qualification mode

    The qualification included 228 games, 220 of which were played in group mode. The 49 teams were each drawn to one of nine groups when the qualification groups were drawn. Five of these nine groups each played with five teams, in four groups six teams competed against each other.

    The nine group winners of the group games and the best-placed runner-up qualified directly for the finals. The remaining four starting places were played by the eight remaining runners-up in relegation games that were previously drawn.

    In the event of a tie between two teams after the group matches, the regulations stated that the team that won the direct comparison would qualify. If no better team could be determined after this comparison, the goal difference counted and then the number of away goals from the directly against each other. If still no better team could be determined by these comparisons, then should the group matches (comparison of goal difference, number of hits, away goals) are used all the results and if you are still experiencing should be equality, fair play rankings decide .

    Relegation matches

    The runners-up in each group were then compared in a table. The best placed team in this table automatically qualified for the European Championship. In order to be able to compare, only the results of the teams against the first, third and fourth of the respective qualification group were used. The remaining eight teams had to play playoffs for the four free places. The games were drawn in an open draw.
