Article body
Qualifying for the 2022/23 UEFA European Women's Under-17 Championship begins with round 1, running in two leagues between 22 September and 15 November.
League A will include 28 teams, including the seven promoted from League B after round 2 of the 2021/22 edition this spring. They compete in seven groups; from these single-venue mini-tournaments, the teams finishing fourth will be relegated to League B for 2022/23 round 2, with the other positions deciding seeding for League A in that round. Estonia will take part, although their finals place is assured as hosts.
The teams in League B (including sides relegated from League A in 2021/22 round 2) will compete for promotion to League A in six groups. The six group winners and the runners-up with the best record against the teams first and third in their section will be promoted. League A round 2 next spring will decide the seven teams joining Estonia in the 2023 finals.
