SEEDED TEAMS

As seeded teams, Germany (U17) and Spain (U19) enter the competition at the elite round stage.

COEFFICIENT RANKINGS

A coefficient ranking list has been established, taking account of teams’ results in the qualifying round

only (win = 3 points, draw = 1 point, defeat = 0 points).

Associations with the same coefficient have been separated using the following criteria in the order given:

1. better goal difference;

2. higher number of goals scored;

3. lower number of disciplinary points based only on yellow and red cards received in the qualifying round

matches (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3

points);

4. higher position in the coefficient ranking list used for the qualifying round draw;

5. drawing of lots.

DRAW PROCEDURE

For the U17 competition, the 32 associations will be drawn into 8 groups of 4 teams, while for the U19

competition, the 28 associations will be drawn into 7 groups of 4 teams, as follows:

Pot A (yellow balls)

Associations ranked 1 to 8 (U17) and 1 to 7 (U19)

Pot B (red balls)

Associations ranked 9 to 16 (U17) and 8 to 14 (U19)

Pot C (green balls)

Associations ranked 17 to 24 (U17) and 15 to 21 (U19)

Pot D (blue balls)

Associations ranked 25 to 32 (U17) and 22 to 28 (U19)

The draw will start with Pot D and end with Pot A. Each pot will be emptied before moving to the next pot.

First draw phase

The teams in Pot D will be drawn one after another and placed in the fourth position in Groups 1 to 8

(U17)/Groups 1 to 7 (U19).

Second draw phase

The teams in Pot C will be drawn one after another and each one placed in the third position in one of

the eight groups (U17)/seven groups (U19).

Third draw phase

The teams in Pot B will be drawn one after another and each one placed in the second position in one

of the eight groups (U17)/seven groups (U19).

Fourth draw phase

The teams in Pot A will be drawn one after another and each one placed in the first position in one of

the eight groups (U17)/seven groups (U19).

On the basis of previous decisions by the UEFA Executive Committee and the UEFA Emergency Panel,

Russia and Ukraine cannot be drawn into the same group.

For both competitions, the teams will be allocated to groups in numerical order in such a way as to ensure

that no winners and runners-up from the same qualifying group meet each other in the elite round. If

clashes arise, the team drawn will be moved to the next available group. The draw continues by first filling

the slot left vacant. If clashes arise in the last three or four groups, the teams will be allocated to groups

appropriately.

There is no protection with regard to teams that finished third in their qualifying groups.

MATCH DATES

The elite round of the U17 competition must be completed by Sunday 2 April 2017.

The elite round of the U19 competition must be completed by Sunday 28 May 2017.

QUALIFICATION FOR THE FINAL TOURNAMENT

The eight group winners and the seven best runners-up will qualify for the final tournament of the U17

competition, while the seven group winners will qualify for the final tournament of the U19 competition.

Those final tournaments will take place as follows:

2016/17 UEFA European

Under-17 Championship

2016/17 UEFA European

Under-19 Championship

Croatia, 3–19 May 2017 Georgia, 2–15 July 2017

To determine the seven best runners-up in the elite round of the U17 competition, only the matches of

the runners-up against the winners and third-placed teams of their group are taken into account, and the

following criteria are applied in the order given:

1. higher number of points;

2. superior goal difference;

3. higher number of goals scored;

4. lower disciplinary points total based only on yellow and red cards received (red card = 3 points,

yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);

5. higher position in the coefficient ranking list used for the qualifying round draw;

6. drawing of lots.
