Group 7 of the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying competition consisted of six teams: Germany, Russia, Austria, Finland, Azerbaijan, and Faroe Islands. The composition of the nine groups in the qualifying group stage was decided by the draw held on 5 February 2015. [1]
The group was played in home-and-away round-robin format. The group winners qualified directly for the final tournament, while the runners-up advanced to the play-offs if they were one of the four best runners-up among all nine groups (not counting results against the sixth-placed team). [2]
