2002 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification

The 2002 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification began in 2000. The final tournament was held in 2002. The 47 national teams were divided into nine groups (one group of four, five groups of 5, and three 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 2002 FIFA World Cup qualification with several changes, reflecting the absence of some nations:

Groups 3, 4, 5, 8 and 9 featured the same nations
Group 1 did not include Faroe Islands
Group 2 did not include Andorra
Group 6 did not include San Marino
Group 7 did not include Liechtenstein, but included France (who did not participate in World Cup qualification)

Ranking of second-placed teams

Because groups contained different number or teams (six, five and four), matches against the fifth- and sixth-placed teams in each group are 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.
