Qualification for	U-17 Women's World Cup

The UEFA U-17 European Women (English: UEFA Women's Under17 Championship ) is a competition for European national teams for women under 17 years. The competition, which is organized annually by UEFA , was first played in the form of a tournament in the 2007/2008 season. In addition, the competition serves every two years to qualify for the U-17 Women's World Cup.

history

At its meeting on May 22, 2006 in Gleneagles , north of Glasgow , Scotland , the UEFA Executive Committee approved the introduction of a European Under-17 Football Championship for women from the 2007/08 season. It was a reaction to the introduction of the U-17 World Cup by FIFA . The first final round with 4 teams took place from 20 to 23 May 2008 in Nyon ( Switzerland ) at the UEFA headquarters. Germany won with a 3-0 victory over France. The following 5 tournaments also took place in Nyon. Starting with the 2013/14 season, 8 teams will qualify for the final round, which will now also be played in a different host country (2013/14: England, 2014/15: Iceland, 2015/16: Belarus).

mode

The competition is held in three phases. First there are two qualifying rounds. In each qualifying round, groups of four teams are formed, with one nation acting as the host. Within the groups, each team plays each other once. In the first round, the group winners and runners-up as well as the four best group thirds advance. When determining the best third party in the group, however, only the results against the group winner and second are taken into account.

In the second qualifying round, four groups of four teams each were formed up to 2013, which also played against each other in tournament form. The four group winners reached the final tournament. In the final round, two semi-finals were initially played. The semi-final winners then played the European champions in the final. The semi-final losers played for 3rd place.

Since the 2013/2014 season, the final round has been held with 8 participants and then in a different country, whose team is then automatically qualified. As the number of registered teams also increased, the number of qualifying groups for the two phases was also increased. In addition, the best teams according to the UEFA coefficient can receive byes for the second qualifying round, e.g. B. Spain for 2017. 45 teams plus hosts had already registered for the 2017 event, of which 44 competed in eleven groups in the first qualifying round and 24 in six groups in the second qualifying round, of which the six group winners and the best group runner-up made the final round achieved. In the final round, the eight participating teams initially play in two groups of four, from which the group winners and runners-up qualify for the semi-finals. From then on, the same procedure as before 2014 Since then, the game for third place has only taken place if this tournament also serves as a qualification for the U-17 World Cup , which takes place every two years , as the third qualifies for the World Cup alongside the two finalists.

In contrast to the senior women’s area, the playing time is two times forty minutes, and that of extra time is two times ten minutes.
