2013 UEFA European Under-17 Championship qualifying round

The 2013 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship qualifying round was the first round of qualifications for the 2013 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship, which was held in Slovakia.[1]

As the host nation, Slovakia qualified automatically for the tournament. The remaining 52 UEFA members were divided into 13 groups of four teams, with each group being contested as a mini-tournament, hosted by one of the group's teams. After all matches have been played, the 13 group winners, 13 group runners-up and the two best third-placed teams advanced to the elite round. The draw for the qualifying round was held on 29 November 2011 in Nyon, with matches set to take place in autumn 2012.[1]

Tiebreakers

edit

If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings.[2]

  1. Higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question
  2. Superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question
  3. Higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question
  4. If, after applying criteria 1) to 3) to several teams, two teams still have an equal ranking, the criteria 1) to 3) will be reapplied to determine the ranking of these teams. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 5) and 6) will apply
  5. Results of all group matches:
    1. Superior goal difference
    2. Higher number of goals scored
  6. Drawing of lots

Additionally, if two teams which have the same number of points and the same number of goals scored and conceded play their last group match against each other and are still equal at the end of that match, their final rankings are determined by the penalty shoot-out and not by the criteria listed above. This procedure is applicable only if a ranking of the teams is required to determine the group winner or the runners-up and the third-placed team.
