2022/23 Women’s Under-19 EURO round 1 starts 4 October – UEFA.com

The 2022/23 UEFA European Women’s Under-19 Championship season begins with round 1, running in two leagues between 4 October and 14 November.

League A consists of 28 teams, including the eight promoted from League B after 2021/22 round 2 in the spring. The teams compete seven groups; from these single-venue mini-tournaments, the teams finishing fourth will be relegated to League B for 2022/23 round 2 in spring, with the other positions deciding seeding for League A in that round. Belgium will take part, although their finals place is assured as hosts.

The teams in League B – including sides relegated from League A in 2021/22 round 2, as well as the first Gibraltar team to enter any UEFA women’s national team football competition – will compete for promotion to League A in seven groups. The group winners will be promoted.

The seven teams joining Belgium in the 2023 finals next summer will be decided by round 2 League A.
