A new qualification mode has been introduced for the tournament. Iceland was automatically qualified to host. The remaining 44 registered national teams were divided into eleven groups of four teams each. The group winners and runners-up automatically reached the second qualifying round. There were also the two best thirds in the group. In order to determine the best third party in the group, only the respective results against the group winners and runners-up were used. The first qualifying round was held in September and October 2006.

The 24 remaining teams were divided into six groups of four teams each in the second qualifying round. The six group winners and the best runner-up in the group qualified for the final tournament in Iceland. The tournaments of the 2nd qualifying round were held in April 2007.

In addition to the European championship title, the four European starting places for the U-20 World Cup 2008 were awarded at the final tournament . The four semi-finalists qualified for the world tournament in Chile , in which European champions Germany took third place.
