Main article: 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.
