The 2020 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship qualifying competition was a women's under-17 football competition that was originally to determine the seven teams joining the automatically qualified hosts Sweden in the 2020 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship final tournament,[2] before being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe.[1]
Apart from Sweden, 46 of the remaining 54 UEFA member national teams entered the qualifying competition.[3] Players born on or after 1 January 2003 were eligible to participate.
Format
[edit]The qualifying competition consists of two rounds:[4]
- Qualifying round: Apart from Spain and Germany, which receive byes to the elite round as the teams with the highest seeding coefficient, the remaining 44 teams are drawn into 11 groups of four teams. Each group is played in single round-robin format at one of the teams selected as hosts after the draw. The 11 group winners, the 11 runners-up, and the four third-placed teams with the best record against the first and second-placed teams in their group advance to the elite round.
- Elite round: The 28 teams are drawn into seven groups of four teams. Each group is played in single round-robin format at one of the teams selected as hosts after the draw. The seven group winners qualify for the final tournament.
The schedule of each group is as follows, with two rest days between each matchday (Regulations Article 20.04):[4]
Matchday | Matches |
---|---|
Matchday 1 | 1 v 4, 3 v 2 |
Matchday 2 | 1 v 3, 2 v 4 |
Matchday 3 | 2 v 1, 4 v 3 |
Tiebreakers
[edit]In the qualifying round and elite round, teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Articles 14.01 and 14.02):[4]
- Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
- If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;
- Goal difference in all group matches;
- Goals scored in all group matches;
- Penalty shoot-out if only two teams have the same number of points, and they met in the last round of the group and are tied after applying all criteria above (not used if more than two teams have the same number of points, or if their rankings are not relevant for qualification for the next stage);
- Disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
- UEFA coefficient ranking for the qualifying round draw;
- Drawing of lots.
To determine the four best third-placed teams from the qualifying round, the results against the teams in fourth place are discarded. The following criteria are applied (Regulations Article 15.01):[4]
- Points;
- Goal difference;
- Goals scored;
- Disciplinary points (total 3 matches);
- UEFA coefficient ranking for the qualifying round draw;
- Drawing of lots.
