    Group stage

    draw

    The group draw took place on June 22nd 2017 at the Belfast City Hotel in Belfast . The eight teams were drawn into two groups of four teams each, there was no seeding list, only Northern Ireland was set as the host as the head of group A.

    mode

    The preliminary round was held in two groups of four teams each. The group winners and runners-up qualified for the semi-finals. As France qualified for the semi-finals as hosts of the 2018 U-20 World Cup, the two thirds in the group competed against each other in a play-off game to determine the fourth European participant for the tournament.

    If two or more teams in the same group had the same number of points at the end of the group matches, the placement was determined according to the following criteria in this order:

    a. higher number of points from direct encounters between the teams in question;
    b. better goal difference from the direct encounters between the teams in question;
    c. higher number of goals scored from direct encounters between the teams in question;
    d. if, after applying criteria a) to c), several teams still have the same rank, criteria a) to c) are reapplied, but only to the matches between the teams in question, in order to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria e) to i) are applied;
    e. better goal difference from all group games;
    f. higher number of goals scored from all group games;
    G. lower total number of penalty points based on the yellow and red cards received in all group matches (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion after two yellow cards in one game = 3 points);
    H. better placement in the coefficient rankings used for the qualifying round draw;
    i. Drawing of lots.

    If two teams met in the last group match with the same number of points and the same goal difference and the same number of goals, and the game in question ended in a draw, the final placement of the two teams will be determined by penalty shoot-out , provided that no other team in the same group follows All group games showed the same number of points. If more than two teams had the same number of points, the criteria above were applied.

    Final round

    mode

    If a semi-final match, the final or the play-off match for the U-20 World Cup ended after the end of regular time without a winner, this was determined by a penalty shoot-out. In contrast to the usual procedure for penalty shootouts, the shooters of teams A and B then competed in the order ABBAABBA etc. - similar to the procedure for tie-breakers in tennis . According to the fair play initiative of the International Football Association Board (IFAB), this experiment was intended to check whether the starting advantage of team A could be reduced.

    According to a decision of the UEFA Executive Committee on May 2, 2016, each team was allowed to make a fourth substitution at this tournament in overtime.
