The final round of the 30th U-19 European Football Championship took place in Hungary in 2014 . Hungary was chosen as the host together with the hosts for 2015 (Greece) and 2016 (Germany) at a meeting of the UEFA Executive Committee in Istanbul on March 20, 2012 . It was the second time since 1990 , when it was still the U-18 European Championship, that the finals took place in Hungary. For the first time Gibraltar, which was confirmed by the UEFA Executive Committee as a temporary member of UEFA on October 1, 2012, took part in the competition, but failed to qualify for the elite round.

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. Hungary is directly qualified as a host. The draw for the first round took place on December 5, 2012 in Nyon . Spain received a bye for the elite round in advance. The remaining 52 participants were divided into 13 groups of four teams. For this purpose, the teams were divided into two pots in advance, depending on their coefficient, from which two teams were drawn per group. The group first and second as well as the best group third, for whose determination only the games against the first two group counted, reached the elite round in spring 2014.

The first qualifying round took place between September 6, 2013 and November 19, 2013. Germany prevailed in group 5 with two wins (2: 1 against hosts Belarus and 5: 0 against Latvia) and a draw (1: 1 against Scotland) as first in the table. Austria reached the elite round by finishing second in Group 7 with two wins (6-0 against Finland and 3-1 against Kazakhstan) and one defeat (0-1 against hosts Serbia). Switzerland achieved the same in Group 9 - two wins (4-0 against Andorra and 3-1 against hosts Slovenia) and one defeat (0-1 against England).

The draw for the elite round took place on November 28, 2013 in Nyon. Germany won Group 5 from May 31 to June 5, 2014 in Spain with three wins against the hosts (3: 1), Denmark (4: 0) and Lithuania (2: 0) and qualified for the finals. Austria was also successful in Group 6, which took place in Romania from June 5 to 13, with two wins (5: 0 against Romania and 3: 1 against Norway) and one draw (0: 0 against Russia) qualified with the better goal difference. Although Switzerland hosted Group 3 from May 25th to 30th, one win (2-0 against Cyprus) and two defeats (0-2 against Georgia and 0-1 against Israel) were only enough for third place.

Attendees

Host Hungary was the only team to automatically qualify for the finals. Thus there were seven more places that were awarded to the seven group winners of the elite round . The following teams were able to qualify (qualification group in brackets):

Hungary (hosts) Ukraine (elite group 1) Bulgaria (elite group 2) Israel (elite group 3)

Serbia (elite group 4) Germany (elite group 5) Austria (elite group 6) Portugal (elite group 7)
