The UEFA Women’s U-17 Championship Round 2 draw has been made for both the League A and B groups, with games in spring 2023.
The draw was made by Nina Brnić, captain of the Bosnia and Herzegovina team at the 2022 finals, who received the Respect Fair Play trophy on behalf of her squad.
League A will decide the seven teams joining hosts Estonia in the finals from 14 to 26 May 2023, with promotion and relegation between the leagues also at stake.
Seeding for the draw was decided by league rankings from round 1 in the autumn. Estonia take part in round 2, though they are assured of a finals place as hosts.
League A consists of 28 teams, including the seven promoted from League B. The seven eventual group winners (plus the best runners-up, if Estonia win their group) will qualify for the finals. The teams finishing fourth will be relegated to League B for 2023/24 round 1.
