2006 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification

{{onesource|date=December 2009}}

The qualifying groups for the 2006 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, where possible, matched the 7- and 6-team World Cup 2006 qualifying groups of the senior European teams. The exceptions were where Andorra, Faroe Islands, Liechtenstein, and Northern Ireland were involved; none of whom entered an under-21 team. Germany, whose seniors did not need to qualify for the World Cup (as they will be hosts) were added to one of the 5-team groups created by the absence of the aforementioned nations.

Europe's 48 national under-21 teams entering were divided into eight groups (six groups of 6 + one group of 5 + one group of 7). The eight group winners played off against the eight group runners-up on a two-legged home-and-away basis to decide the eight qualifying teams.

Qualifying Groups

=Draw=

The allocation of teams into qualifying groups was based on that of 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification with several changes, reflecting the absence of some nations:

  • Groups 2, 5, 7 and 8 featured the same nations
  • Group 1 did not include Andorra
  • Group 3 did not include Liechtenstein
  • Group 4 did not include Faroe Islands
  • Group 6 did not include Northern Ireland, but included Germany (who did not participate in World Cup qualification){{Cite web |last=UEFA.com |title=The official website for European football |url=https://www.uefa.com/errors/ |access-date=2024-11-04 |website=UEFA |language=en}}

This was the last time when this grouping schema was applied for U21 qualifying groups.
