2004 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 48 national teams were divided into ten groups (two groups of four + eight groups of 5). Each group winner, as well as the six highest ranked second placed teams, advanced to the play-off. One of the eight qualifiers was then chosen to host the remaining fixtures.

Qualifying group stage

Draw

[edit]

The allocation of teams into qualifying groups was based on that of UEFA Euro 2004 qualifying tournament with several changes, reflecting the absence of some nations:

  • Groups 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9 and 10 featured the same nations
  • Group 5 did not include Faroe Islands
  • Group 7 did not include Liechtenstein, but included Portugal (who did not participate in senior Euro qualification)
  • Group 8 did not include Andorra

Ranking of second-placed teams

[edit]

Because some groups contained five teams and some four, matches against the fifth-placed team in each group are not included in the ranking. As a result, six matches played by each team counted for the purposes of the second-placed table. The top six advanced to the play-off.
