mode

The European Championship was organized in three stages. The four participants in the final round were determined in two qualifying rounds.

In the first qualifying round, the 40 registered U-17 national teams played the participants in the second qualifying round in ten groups of four teams each. Within each group, each team played once against each other in the form of a mini-tournament. One of the four participating teams in each group acted as the host of this mini-tournament. A win was rewarded with three points, a draw with one point. The group winners and the six best runners-up qualified for the second qualifying round. When determining the best runners-up in the group, only the games against the group winners and third parties were taken into account.

The 16 remaining teams were again randomly divided into four groups of four teams each. The mode was identical to that of the first qualifying round. The group winners of the four mini-tournaments qualified for the final round.
