New Format for UEFA 2nd Under-18 Championship
The European Women's Under-18 Championship was scrutinised by the 3rd Conference on Women's Football, which took place in London in October.The inaugural competition was won by Denmark last July, and teams are already taking part in the Second Championship.
To avoid unbalanced ties a new format for the 1999/2000 competition( the draw was made in Geneva on 17 December) was adopted.
The 33 participating teams have been divided into three categories: The top six from the 1997/98 championship form the first category, the associations in positions 7 to 18 make up the second, and the 15 others comprise the third. Each category will start the competition at a different point. The third-category teams will play in the first round, with mini-tournaments to be played by 20 September 1999. The draw separated them into the following groups:
Group C1 Group C2 Group C3 Group C4 Turkey Estonia Slovakia Bosnia & Herzegovina Moldova Hungary Greece Lithuania Slovenia Iceland Belgium Wales Rep. of Ireland Belarus Scotland The group-winners and runners-up will qualify for the second round, where they will be joined by the 12 second-category teams, for mini-tournaments to be played in the five following groups:
These ties have to be played by 20 December 1999. The winners and runners-up from each group will go through to the third round, at which point the six first-category teams start out in the competition. The best two third-placed teams will start the subsequent competition in the second round, while the other two third-placed teams, as well as the fourth-placed teams, will begin their subsequent play in the first round.
Group B1 Group B2 Group B3 Group B4 Group B5 Yugoslavia Switzerland Russia Czech Republic England Poland Spain Italy Israel Faroe Islands winners C1 winners C3 winners C3 Finland Ukraine runners-up C2 runners-up C3 runners-up C4 winners C4 runners-up C1
The draw produced the following groupings:
Group A1 Group A2 Group A3 Group A4 Norway France Netherlands Denmark winners B1 winners B2 Sweden Germany winners B5 runners-up B1 winners B3 winners B4 runners-up B2 runners-up B3 runners-up B4 runners-up B5 The third-round matches have to be played by 20 May 2000. The four groupwinners will qualify for the final round, to be played in one of their countries in summer 2000. In the next competition, these four finalists, as well as the best two runners-up, will start their campaigns in the third round, while the others will start out in the second round.
The advantage of this new format is that it will allow each team to start out in the competition against opponents of more or less equal strength. The prospect of moving from one category to another should also provide an additional incentive.
As far as the 2nd European Women's Under-18 Championship is concerned, the first stage was completed in December. The order of the quarter-finals, which will take place in April/May 1999, over two legs, was determined last March. The line-up is as follows:
A: England vs. Norway
B: France vs. Germany
C: Denmark vs. Sweden
D: Italy vs. FinlandIn the semi-finals, the winners of match B will meet the winners of match A, and the winners of match C those of match D.
