The ceremony, which will start at 12.00 Kyiv time, will determine the group compositions of both leagues and hosts of mini-tournaments, UEFA's official website reports.

In the second qualification round, seven national teams that will join Belgium in the final stage of the European Championship for women under 19 years old will be determined, as well as teams moving from one league to another. The seeding at the draw for the second round will be based on the positions the teams held after the first round.

In League A, 28 teams are playing in seven groups, including seven national teams that advanced from League B following the results of the first round. Seven group winners in the second round of League A (and the best runner-up if Belgium finishes first in their group) will qualify for the final stage, which will take place from July 18 to 30, 2023. Teams finishing fourth in their groups will start the season-2023/2024 round in League B.

In League B, including teams that were relegated after the autumn stage of League A, seven groups (three with four participants and four with three) are competing for spots in next year's first-round League A.

As a reminder, Ukraine's women's youth team secured third place in their group during the first round and retained their spot in League A.
