The 2022 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualifying competition was a women's under-19 football competition that determined the seven teams joining the automatically qualified hosts the Czech Republic in the 2022 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship final tournament.[1]
A record 52 teams, including hosts the Czech Republic, entered the qualifying competition.[1] Players born on or after 1 January 2003 were eligible to participate.
From this season, UEFA implemented a new format for the women's U17 and U19 Euros, based on a league-style qualifying format.
The teams are divided into two leagues: League A and League B. In this first season of the new system, the teams were divided using coefficient rankings.
Each league will play two rounds:
For rounds 1 and 2, teams were 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 were to be applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Articles 14.01 and 14.02):[2]
The draw for the qualifying round was held on 11 March 2021, 15:00 CET (UTC+1), at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.[3]
The teams were seeded according to their coefficient ranking, calculated based on the following :[1]
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, Russia and Ukraine and Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo would not be drawn in the same group.[3]
The 28 first teams in the coefficient ranking qualified for League A. Teams 29–52 qualified for League B.
