2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification play-offs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The play-offs of the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying competition involves six of the nine runners-up in the qualifying group stage, the three top-ranked teams being directly qualified for the tournament.
Because two groups have one fewer team than the others, only the results of the second-placed teams against the first, third, fourth, and fifth-placed teams in their group are taken into account, while results against the sixth-placed team in six-team groups are not included. As a result, eight matches played by each second-placed team are counted for the purposes of determining the ranking. The top three teams qualify directly for the final tournament, while the other six teams enter the play-offs.
