Today, June 7, the draw for the first round of the 2024/2025 UEFA Women's U-17 Championship qualifiers occurred in Nyon, Switzerland. The group compositions for both leagues have been determined, with matches scheduled to take place between July 1 and December 3, 2024.

It is noteworthy that the Ukraine WU-17 team finished last in their group in this year's European Championship's second round and was relegated to League B. Following the first-round draw, Serhiy Sapronov's team was placed in Group B2, where they will compete against Romania, Malta, and Moldova.

League A

Twenty-eight teams will compete in League A, including the current champion, Spain, and seven teams promoted from League B based on the results of the 2023/2024 Euro second round. The participants were divided into seven groups. Each group will play in a mini-tournament format hosted by one of the participants.

Teams that finish in fourth place will continue the season in the second round in League B. The seeding of participants for the second round will depend on their first-round group standings. The Faroe Islands will also participate in the competition despite having a direct ticket to the finals as hosts.

League B

Twenty-one teams will compete in League B (including teams relegated from League A in the 2023/2024 Euro second round). These teams will compete for promotion to League A in six groups. The group winners and the best second-placed team (considering results against the first and third-placed teams in their groups) will be promoted to the higher division.

Advancement to the Final Stage

The second qualifying round will take place at the beginning of 2025. Based on the League A competition, seven teams will join the Faroe Islands in the final stage.
