Qualifying

How it worked

• In all cases national qualifiers were held to decide the representative for each association. San Marino entered their national amateur team rather than a regional selection.
• In the three preliminary round groups played in June and July, the teams finishing first and the two best runners-up progressed to the intermediate round.
• The winners of the eight intermediate round groups, played as mini-tournaments, now compete in the finals next June, hosted by one of the qualifiers.
