2021/22 Women's Under-19 Euro 1 Round Guide - Women's Under-19 Euro

The first round of the new UEFA European Women’s Under-19 Championship, in the style of the UEFA Nations League, takes place from September 15 to 21 and October 19 to 25, with 52 teams, including Rookie Andorra.

The new format replaces the old qualifying, elite rounds, and still includes mini-tournaments played in one place, but now includes two leagues with promotion and exile until the 2022 final in the Czech Republic (which automatically competes in both rounds before progressing to the finals). Competitive returns after the 2019/20 and 2020/21 editions were interrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
