2010 UEFA European Under-19 Championship elite qualification
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2010 UEFA European Under-19 Championship (Elite Round) was the second round of qualifications for the final tournament of 2010 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. The 28 teams that advanced from the qualifying round were distributed into seven groups of four teams each, with each group contested in a round-robin format, with one of the four teams hosting all six group games. The seven group-winning teams automatically qualified for the final tournament in France.
The hosts of the seven one-venue mini-tournament groups are indicated below in italics.
The matches were played between 14 April–31 May 2010.
Tiebreaker rules for qualification groups
Per uefa.com[1] the criteria used to rank two or more teams even on points are:
- Points earned in head-to-head matches
- Goal difference in head-to-head matches
- Goals scored in head-to-head matches
- Goal difference in all group matches
- Goals scored in all group matches
- Drawing of lots
- If head-to-head criteria eliminate one team from a three- or four-way tie, then revert to the first step with the remaining teams.
- If two teams are tied and play against each other in their last group match, then penalty kicks will be used instead of the criteria listed above.
