2021 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification

2021 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualifying round would have taken place in autumn 2020, and Elite round, would have taken place in spring 2021, [2] but, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, UEFA announced on 13 August 2020 that after consultation with the 55 member associations, the qualifying round was delayed to March 2021, and the elite round was abolished and replaced by play-offs, with the 13 qualifying round group winners joining the top seed by coefficient ranking, Portugal (which originally received a bye to the elite round), in the play-offs in May 2021 to determine the teams qualifying for the final tournament. [3] [4] Furthermore, on 23 February 2021, UEFA announced that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe and its effect on staging competitions, the tournament was cancelled. [5]
