2006 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification

Last updated April 25, 2024

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.

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)

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