Nyon venue

The fifth U-17 European Football Championship for women took place from June 26th to 29th, 2012 in Nyon ( Switzerland ). The venue was the Center sportif de Colovray . Players born on January 1, 1995 or later were eligible to play.

qualification

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 42 registered teams played the participants in the second qualifying round in ten groups of four teams each. However, the two nations with the highest UEFA coefficient (Germany and the Netherlands) had a bye to the second qualifying round. Within each group, each team played once against each other in the form of mini-tournaments that were played on different dates between September 19 and October 22, 2011. One of the four participating teams in each group hosted this mini-tournament. A win was rewarded with three points, a draw with one point.

The group winners and the four 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 games took place from March 19 to May 1, 2012 in Norway, Spain, Belgium and Denmark. The group winners of the four mini-tournaments qualified for the final round. Germany was able to prevail against defending champion Spain.

mode

The four teams determined the European champion in the knockout system . The winners of the semi-finals reached the final and played the European champions. The losers played for third place. A game usually lasted 40 minutes twice. If it was a draw after the end of the regular playing time, the decision was made directly in the penalty shoot-out without prior overtime. The two finalists are qualified for the U-17 Women's World Cup in Azerbaijan in 2012 .
