Within each group, each team played one home game and one away game against each other. The group winners qualified directly for the finals of the European Championship.
In the third qualifying round, the six runners-up and the four best thirds in the group determined the remaining five participants in the final. For the calculation of the best third in the group, only the matches against the first, second and fourth of the respective group were taken into account.

3rd qualifying round
The third qualifying round games took place from October 25th to 30th, 2008. In this round, the runners-up as well as the four third-placed group took part.
