2000 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification

{{Short description|none}}

{{unreferenced|date=March 2013}}

{{main|2000 UEFA European Under-21 Championship}}

The 2000 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification began in 1998. The final tournament was held in 2000 in Slovakia.

The 47 national teams were divided into nine groups (seven groups of 5 + two groups of 6). The records of the nine group runners-up were then compared. The top seven joined the nine winners in a play-off for the eight finals spots. One of the eight qualifiers was then chosen to host the remaining fixtures.

Qualifying group stage

=Draw=

The allocation of teams into qualifying groups was based on that of UEFA Euro 2000 qualifying tournament with several changes, reflecting the absence of some nations:

  • Groups 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, featured the same nations
  • Group 4 did not include Andorra
  • Group 6 did not include San Marino, but included Netherlands (who did not participate in senior Euro qualification)
  • Group 7 did not include Liechtenstein
  • Group 9 did not include Faroe Islands, but included Belgium (who did not participate in senior Euro qualification)

=Ranking of second-placed teams=

Because groups contained different number or teams (six and five), matches against the fifth and sixth-placed teams in each group were not included in the ranking. As a result, six matches played by each team counted for the purposes of the second-placed table. The top seven advanced to the play-off.
