Germany, France and Norway are the first teams to have reached the semi-finals at the 2026 UEFA European Women's Under-17 Championship, which runs from 4 to 17 May and is being staged in Northern Ireland for the first time.
Germany returned for the first time in three editions by beating Norway in Group A in Coleraine on the opening day, winning after the hosts had made their Women's U17 EURO finals debut with a defeat to England in Larne.
The following day, Group B began with France cruising past Poland in Coleraine and Spain also winning comfortably against Finland in Larne.
Group A continued on 7 May with Germany edging past England in Larne, followed by Norway securing their first points with victory over the host nation in Coleraine in a result ensuring Germany would finish top.
France then stayed perfect in Group B by beating Spain in Coleraine a day later, winning the section when Poland subsequently moved off the mark at Finland's expense in Larne.
Norway sealed second spot and ensured England finished third with a draw in Coleraine and Northern Ireland signed off by beating Germany in Larne in the concluding matches in Group A on 10 May, a day before Finland attempt to end France's winning run in Coleraine and Poland and Spain contest a decider in Larne.
The top two teams in each group progress to the semi-finals in Belfast on 14 May, with the decider, also staged at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park, three days later. The four semi-finalists will qualify for the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco from 17 October to 7 November, along with the winners of a play-off between the two third-placed group finishers on 14 May in Larne.
