2016/17 UEFA European Under-17 and Under-19 Championships
Qualifying round draws 3 December 2015, Nyon, Switzerland
DRAW PROCEDURE Qualifying rounds
16th UEFA European Under-17 and Under-19 Championships, 2016/17
Please find below details of the coefficient calculation and draw procedure. COMPETITION SYSTEM Fifty-four member associations will take part in each competition. Fifty-two teams will enter the competitions in the qualifying round and one (Germany at Under-17 level and Spain at Under-19 level) will join in the elite round. The final tournament host associations qualify automatically for the final tournament:
UNDER-17 = CROATIA, UNDER-19 = GEORGIA COEFFICIENT RANKING LIST A coefficient ranking list has been established for the 2016/17 qualifying round draws according to the following principles.
• Seasons taken into account: 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15.
- All qualifying matches (qualifying and elite rounds) have been taken into consideration to calculate the coefficients.
• Win = 3 points; draw = 1 point; defeat = 0 points.
• The following bonus points have been awarded:
- automatic qualification for the elite round = 3 points - qualification from the qualifying round to the elite round = 3 points - qualification from the elite round to the final tournament = 3 points
• The following bonus points have also been awarded for the results obtained during the final
tournaments – please note that with the new format and the introduction of quarter-finals for the Under-17 final tournament, the bonus point system has been adapted as from the 2014/15 season:

• The coefficient for the 2011/12 qualifying rounds have been taken into account for the associations that have hosted an Under-17 or Under-19 final tournament in the previous three seasons. This includes the bonus points awarded for qualifying for the different competition phases and the bonus points shown in the table above. These associations are:
- 2012/13: Under-17 = Slovakia, Under-19 = Lithuania - 2013/14: Under-17 = Malta, Under-19 = Hungary - 2014/15: Under-17 = Bulgaria, Under-19 = Greece
• The coefficient calculation for each season consists of adding the number of points obtained (including bonus points) and dividing the total by the number of matches.
• The three annual coefficient calculations have then been added together to produce the overall coefficient used for the ranking list.
• Associations with the same overall coefficient have been separated using the following criteria:
1. higher number of matches; 2. higher coefficient from the most recent season, i.e. 2014/15; 3. higher coefficient from the next most recent seasons, i.e. 2013/14 and 2012/13; 4. superior goal difference from the most recent season, i.e. 2014/15; 5. superior goal difference from the next most recent seasons, i.e. 2013/14 and 2012/13.
QUALIFYING ROUND The associations ranked in first position qualify directly for the elite round (Germany for the Under-17s and Spain for the Under-19s).
The remaining 52 associations ranked in positions 2 to 53 have been split into 2 pots, as follows:
Pot A (Under-17 = yellow balls, Under-19 = blue balls) Associations ranked 2 to 27 (26 teams)
Pot B (Under-17 = red balls, Under-19 = green balls) Associations ranked 28 to 53 (26 teams)
The 52 associations will be drawn into 13 groups of 4 teams according to the following procedure:
• Two balls will be drawn from Pot A into Group 1. The team drawn first will be put in the first position in the group and the team drawn second into second position.
• Two balls will then be drawn from Pot B into Group 1. The team drawn first will be put in the third position in the group and the team drawn second into fourth position.
• Once Group 1 is complete the same procedure will be followed to form Groups 2 to 13.
In the Under-17 championship, the 13 group winners and the 13 runners-up, as well as the five best third-ranked teams across all 13 groups, will qualify for the elite round (31 teams in all). In the Under-19 championship, the 13 group winners and the 13 runners-up, as well as the best third-ranked team across all 13 groups, will qualify for the elite round (27 teams in all). SPECIAL CASE On the basis of previous decisions taken by the UEFA Executive Committee and the UEFA Emergency Panel, Armenia and Azerbaijan cannot be drawn into the same group. The same applies to Spain and Gibraltar, as well as Russia and Ukraine. ELITE ROUND Draws will be held to form the eight groups of four teams (Under-17) and seven groups of four teams (Under-19). The definitive draw procedures will be communicated to the associations concerned on completion of the qualifying rounds. In the Under-17 championship, the eight group winners and the seven best runners-up will qualify for the final tournament. In the Under-19 championship, the seven group winners will qualify for the final tournament. MATCH DATES For both competitions, the qualifying round matches must be played on or before Friday 20 November 2016.
