Nyon venue

The sixth U-17 European women's football championship was held from June 25 to 28, 2013 in Nyon ( Switzerland ). The final round took place for the last time with four teams and the venue was for the last time the Center sportif de Colovray, then this EM will also take place at different locations with eight teams. Players born on January 1, 1996 or later were eligible to play. The team from Montenegro took part in the qualification for the first time and since Slovakia also took part again, which recently did not take part, a new participation record was set with 44 participants. Belgium, Poland and Sweden reached the finals for the first time, for which defending champions and record winners Germany could not qualify.

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 44 registered teams played the participants in the second qualifying round in eleven groups of four teams each. Within each group, each team played once against each other in the form of mini-tournaments that were played on different dates between September 3 and November 3, 2013. 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 German team won in Group 7, which took place from October 29 to November 3, by drawing against hosts Greece (1: 1) and two wins against Romania (5: 0) and Russia (7: 1). Switzerland played in Group 1 against hosts Moldova (8: 0), Belgium (2: 1) and Bulgaria (11: 0) and prevailed with three wins. As hosts of Group 6, Austria met Sweden (2: 2), Croatia (10: 0) and Azerbaijan (4: 1) and qualified for the next round as the best second-placed team.

The 11 group winners and the five best runners-up qualified for the second qualifying round. This suffered from the long and snowy winter in Europe, so that games in Belgium and Austria had to be postponed several times. When determining the best runners-up in the group, only the games against the group winners and third parties were taken into account. Germany failed in Group 1 and was only able to achieve third place with a win (5: 1 against the Netherlands), a defeat (1: 2 against Denmark) and a draw (0: 0 against hosts Belgium). In Group 2, Austria hosted just like in the first qualifying round, but this time the team ended up in third place with a win (4-1 against Ireland), one loss (0-2 against Norway) and a draw (1-1 against Poland). The Swiss players ended up in last place in their group 4 when they lost twice (0: 1 against Sweden and 0: 2 against hosts Czech Republic) and won once (2: 1 against Italy)

The best goalscorer in the qualification was Vivianne Miedema from the Netherlands with 18 goals.

mode

The four group winners of the second qualifying round 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 on penalties without previous overtime.
