qualification
The qualification for the tournament took place in two stages. The first qualifying round was followed by a second round, called the elite round. Lithuania was directly qualified to host.
First qualifying round
The first qualifying round took place between September 26, 2012 and November 26, 2012. Twelve groups with four teams each played the placements among themselves in tournament mode, i.e. H. each team only played once against the other three. Each group played its six group matches within a few days, with one of the participating countries acting as the host. The group winners and second as well as the best third in the group qualified for the elite round.
The German team played in group 5. The games were played in Luxembourg against the national team there as well as against Macedonia and Ireland. After clear victories against Macedonia (5: 0) and Luxembourg (5: 0), the lead of two goals against Ireland was lost and the game ended 2: 2. This was enough for the group victory.
The Austrian team played in group 12 in Hungary, which was won with three wins against Andorra (9: 0), Bulgaria (2: 1) and the hosts (2: 1).
The Swiss team played in Group 9, which played their games in Scotland. After a 0-0 draw against Romania, only a 4-0 win against Armenia and a 3-4 defeat against the hosts could be achieved. With this, the second place behind group winners Scotland was reached, which was enough for the entry into the elite round.
Elite round
The elite round was held in groups of four in a similar fashion at the end of May and beginning of June 2013, with one team again hosting. The seven group winners qualified for participation in the final round.
The German team played in Group 5 in Norway. After a 3-1 win against Cyprus, they lost two games to Norway (3-1) and the Netherlands (0-1), which was only enough for third place. The Netherlands qualified for the finals.
Austria played as hosts in Group 1. After two convincing victories against Bosnia-Herzegovina (6-0) and Sweden (3-0), there was a final against France, which had also won two games. Due to the better goal difference, a draw would have been enough for the Austrians to rise. However, the French won the game 1-0 and qualified for the finals.
Switzerland ended up tied with hosts Serbia and Slovakia in Group 2 as each of these teams scored 4 points. The Swiss drew against Ireland (2-2), followed by a win against Serbia (1-0) and a defeat against Slovakia (0-2). Because of the worse goal difference, Switzerland came in second behind group winners Serbia.
