COEFFICIENT RANKING SYSTEM

Reference periods

The qualifying round coefficient ranking lists are established for the qualifying round draws on the basis

of the associations’ results in the four most recently completed seasons. For the 2019/20 competitions, the

qualifying round coefficient ranking lists are therefore based on the associations' results in the 2014/15,

2015/16, 2016/17 and 2017/18 seasons.

Match points

Points are awarded for each match played in the qualifying rounds, elite rounds and final tournament

group stages.

Match points are awarded in accordance with the final scores as ratified by UEFA. Penalty shoot-outs and

final tournament knockout matches are not taken into consideration.

Points are awarded as follows: 3 points for a win; 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a defeat.

Coefficient calculation

Each association’s qualifying round coefficient is calculated by:

adding up the match points obtained in a given season;

dividing the total by the number of qualifying competition and final tournament group matches played;

adding the bonus points to produce the coefficient for that season;

adding together the four season coefficients to produce the overall qualifying round coefficient.

Qualifying round draws

If two or more associations have an equal qualifying round coefficient, the following criteria are applied, in

the order given, to determine their final rankings:

a) higher number of matches played;

b) higher coefficient from the most recent season, i.e. 2017/18;

c) higher coefficient from the next three most recent seasons, i.e. 2016/17, 2015/16 and 2014/15;

d) superior goal difference from the most recent season, i.e. 2017/18;

e) superior goal difference from the next three most recent seasons, i.e. 2016/17, 2015/16 and 2014/15.

DRAW PROCEDURE

The 52 associations will be split into 4 pots of 13 teams, as follows:

Pot A (yellow balls)

U17: associations ranked 3 to 15

U19: associations ranked 2 to 14

Pot B (red balls)

U17: associations ranked 16 to 28

U19: associations ranked 15 to 27

Pot C (green balls)

U17: associations ranked 29 to 41

U19: associations ranked 28 to 40

Pot D (blue balls)

U17: associations ranked 42 to 54

U19: associations ranked 41 to 53

The draw will start with Pot D and end with Pot A in order to ensure that the strongest teams are drawn

last. Each pot will be emptied before the next pot is started.

First draw phase

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

13.

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 13 groups.

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 13 groups.

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 13 groups.

Qualifying round draws

5

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

the following countries cannot be drawn into the same group: Armenia and Azerbaijan, Spain and Gibraltar,

Russia and Ukraine, Kosovo and Serbia, and Kosovo and Bosnia-Herzegovina.

For both competitions, the teams will be allocated to groups in numerical order. 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.

U17: 30 teams will qualify from the qualifying round to the elite round, i.e. the 13 group winners, the 13

group runners-up and the four best third-placed teams.

U19: 27 teams will qualify from the qualifying round to the elite round, i.e. the 13 group winners, the 13

group runners-up and the best third-placed team.

MATCH DATES

For both competitions, the qualifying round matches must be played on or before Tuesday 19 November

2019.

GROUP FORMATION FOR THE ELITE ROUND

Draws will take place to form the eight groups of four teams (U17) and seven groups of four teams (U19).

The definitive draw procedures will be communicated to the associations concerned on completion of the

qualifying rounds.

In the U17 competition, the eight group winners and the seven best runners-up will qualify for the final

tournament.

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