Teams

Summarize
Perspective

A total of 39 teams entered the tournament.[3] Each of the 55 UEFA member associations could enter a regional amateur representative team which qualified through a national qualifying competition, or when applicable, their national amateur representative team.

Associations were ranked according to their UEFA coefficients, computed based on results of the last three seasons (2013, 2015, 2017), to decide on the round their teams entered and their seeding pots in the preliminary and intermediate round draws. The top 27 associations entered the intermediate round, while the bottom 12 associations (ranked 28–39) entered the preliminary round.[4]

The draws for the preliminary and intermediate rounds was held on 6 December 2017, 13:30 CET (UTC+1), at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.[5][6] The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:

  • In the preliminary round, the twelve teams were drawn into three groups of four without any seeding.
  • In the intermediate round, the 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four. Each group contained one team from Pot A, one team from Pot B, one team from Pot C, and either one team from Pot D or one of the five teams which advanced from the preliminary round (whose identity was not known at the time of the draw):
    • Preliminary round Group A winner would be assigned to Group 1.
    • Preliminary round Group B winner would be assigned to Group 2.
    • Preliminary round Group C winner would be assigned to Group 3.
    • Preliminary round best runner-up would be assigned to Group 4.
    • Preliminary round second best runner-up would be assigned to Group 5.
    • The three teams from Pot D would be drawn to Groups 6–8.

For political reasons, teams from Russia and Ukraine would not be drawn in the same group. The hosts for each group in the preliminary and intermediate rounds would be selected after the draw.[3]

Perspective

In the preliminary round and intermediate round, each group is played as a round-robin mini-tournament at one of the teams selected as hosts after the draw.

In the final tournament, the eight qualified teams play a group stage (two groups of four) followed by the final between the group winners, at a host selected by UEFA from one of the teams.

In the preliminary round, intermediate round and final tournament, the schedule of each group is as follows, with two rest days between each matchday, except for between matchdays 1 and 2 in the final tournament where there is only one rest day (Regulations Articles 19.04 and 19.07):[2]

  6. Goals scored in all group matches;
  7. Penalty shoot-out if only two teams have the same number of points, and they met in the last round of the group and are tied after applying all criteria above (not used if more than two teams have the same number of points, or if their rankings are not relevant for qualification for the next stage);
  8. Disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
