The 2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship (also known as UEFA Under-19 Euro 2022) was the 19th edition of the UEFA European Under-19 Championship (69th edition if the Under-18 and Junior eras are included), the annual international youth football championship organised by UEFA for the men's under-19 national teams of Europe. Slovakia hosted the tournament between 18 June and 1 July 2022.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/under19/news/0257-0debe6d21fe9-767a117bd75d-1000--romania-slovakia-to-stage-u19-euro-in-2021-and-2022/|title=Romania, Slovakia to stage U19 EURO in 2021 and 2022|website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=24 September 2019}} A total of eight teams played in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2003 eligible to participate.

Same as previous editions held in even-numbered years, the tournament acted as the UEFA qualifiers for the FIFA U-20 World Cup. The top five teams of the tournament qualified for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina as the UEFA representatives.

Spain were the defending champions, having won the last tournament held in 2019, with the 2020 and 2021 editions cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe and the title was not awarded. They were not able to defend the title after failing to qualify for the competition.

Host selection

The timeline of host selection was as follows:{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/mediaservices/newsid=2598094.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190328195759/https://www.uefa.com/insideuefa/mediaservices/newsid=2598094.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 28, 2019|title=17 member associations interested in hosting UEFA youth national team final tournaments in 2021 and 2022|website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=27 March 2019}}

For the UEFA European Under-19 Championship final tournaments of 2021 and 2022, Romania and Slovakia were selected as hosts respectively.

Qualification

{{main|2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification}}

The UEFA Executive Committee originally decided on 29 May 2019 to test a new qualifying format for the Under-19 Championship in 2022 and 2023.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/0251-0f8e6c171bac-f18e94862ff1-1000--uefa-to-ask-fifa-ifab-for-new-concussion-protocol/|title=UEFA to ask FIFA/IFAB for new concussion protocol|website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=29 May 2019}} The qualifying competition would have been played in four rounds over a two-year period from autumn 2020 to spring 2022, with teams divided into three leagues, and promotion and relegation between leagues after each round similar to the UEFA Nations League.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/under19/news/0257-0debe6d21fe9-def6d9192acc-1000--new-nations-league-format-for-u19-euro-how-it-works/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200707171812/https://www.uefa.com/under19/news/0257-0debe6d21fe9-def6d9192acc-1000--new-nations-league-format-for-u19-euro-how-it-works/|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 7, 2020|title=New Nations League format for U19 EURO: how it works|website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=28 October 2019}} However, on 17 June 2020, UEFA announced that the introduction of the new format had been postponed to the 2023 edition due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, and qualification for the 2022 edition would use the previous format involving two rounds only.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/news-media/news/025e-0fb6101cfdbf-8b878372d79d-1000--uefa-competitions-to-resume-in-august/|title=UEFA competitions to resume in August|website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=17 June 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/under19/news/025e-0fac6fe40557-8da71e4a1ab1-1000--2020-under-19-euro-cancelled/|title=2020 Under-19 EURO cancelled|website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=20 October 2020}}

A total of 54 (out of 55) UEFA nations entered the competition, and with the hosts Slovakia qualifying automatically, the other 53 teams will compete in the qualifying competition, which consisted of two rounds: the Qualifying round, which took place in autumn 2021, and the Elite round, which took place in spring 2022, to determine the remaining seven spots in the final tournament. The draw for the qualifying round was held on 9 December 2020, 10:30 CET (UTC+1), at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/under19/news/0263-10c832651db3-90ea5ea3d899-1000--2021-22-u19-qualifying-round-draw-wednesday/|title=2021/22 U19 qualifying round draw: 9 December|website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations|date=4 December 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/0263-10c826080823-68472d0e3528-1000/u17-19_draw_procedure_qr_2021-22_-_en_20201105155136.pdf|title=2021/22 UEFA European Under-17 and Under-19 Championships Qualifying round draws|website=UEFA |publisher=Union of European Football Associations}}
