2024 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualification

In Round 1 and Round 2, 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 19.01 and 19.02):[2]

1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams;
4. 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;
5. Goal difference in all group matches;
6. Goals scored in all group matches;
7. 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);
8. Disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
9. Position in the applicable ranking:
   1. for teams in round 1, position in 2021–22 round 2 league rankings;
   2. for teams in round 2, position in the round 1 league ranking.

To determine the five 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):[2]

1. Points;
2. Goal difference;
3. Goals scored;
4. Disciplinary points;
5. Position in the applicable ranking:
   1. for teams in round 1, position in the coefficient rankings;
   2. for teams in round 2, position in the round 1 league ranking.

The draw for the qualifying round was held on 16 June 2023, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.[1]

The teams were seeded according to their final group standings of the 2022–23 competition (Regulations Article 13.01).[2]

Each group contained one team from Pot A, one team from Pot B, one team from Pot C, and one team from Pot D. For political reasons, Armenia and Azerbaijan and Bosnia & Herzegovina and Kosovo would not be drawn in the same group.[3]

To determine the 2022–23 Round 2 league rankings, the following criteria was followed:

1. higher position in the following classification:
   1. League A Round 2 group winners
   2. League A Round 2 group runners-up
   3. League A Round 2 third-placed teams
   4. Teams promoted from League B
   5. Teams relegated from League A
   6. League B Round 2 runners-up
   7. League B Round 2 third-placed teams
   8. League B Round 2 fourth-placed teams
2. higher number of points in all mini-tournament matches;
3. superior goal difference in all mini-tournament matches;
4. higher number of goals scored in all mini-tournament matches;
5. lower disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
6. higher position in the 2022–23 round 1 league rankings.

The 21 teams of Round 1 League A and the 7 teams of Round 2 League B (six group winners and the best runner-up) are drawn in seven groups of four teams.

Because League B has two groups with only 3 teams, only the points of the winners from each group in League B against the second and third-placed teams will be transferred to round 2. All group winners and the best runner-up are automatically seeded into pot D.[6]

The teams were seeded according to their results in the round 1 (Regulations Article 15.01).[7]

The six best fourth-placed teams in League A will be automatically seeded into Pot A, with the worst fourth-placed team being seeded into pot B. The runners-up from League B are automatically seeded into Pot B, and the third and fourth-placed teams in League B are automatically seeded into pot C.
