Women's U19 EURO round 2 draw

The UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship round 2 draw at 11:00 CET on Thursday 11 December will determine the groups for both leagues.

The teams are split into two leagues as set by round 1. The groups are played as single-venue mini-tournaments in the periods from 25 February to 7 March or 8 to 18 April and will decide the seven teams who join hosts Bosnia and Herzegovina in the finals from 27 June to 10 July, as well as promotion and relegation between the leagues.

Each group will be a mini-tournament in one of the competing countries, still to be confirmed. Bosnia and Herzegovina will take part although their finals place is already assured as hosts.
