Women's Under-19 EURO round 2 draw

The UEFA European Women's Under-19 Championship round 2 draw has set the groups for both leagues.

The draw was made by Azzurra Gallo, captain of Italy in the 2025 final tournament, who received the Respect Fair Play trophy on behalf of her team.

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 that will 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 even though their finals place is already assured as hosts.
