Twenty-eight participants (the top two teams from each of the 14 groups in the first round) will compete in seven groups of the League A next spring for seven spots at the final tournament, which will take place in Albania this summer. The host nation has automatically qualified for the event but still participated in the qualification process.
The remaining teams will play in League B and compete for places in League A of the first qualifying round of Euro 2027 (U-19).
It is worth noting that Euro 2025 (U-17) will serve as a qualifier for the World Cup 2025 in the U-17 category, which will feature 48 national teams and take place in Qatar.
