The 2009 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship will be the eighth edition of UEFA's European Under-17 Football Championship since it was renamed from the original under-16 event, in 2001. Germany will host the championship, during May 6–18, 2009, in thirteen venues, and the final will take place at the Stadion Magdeburg, in Magdeburg. Spain is the current title holder, having successfully defended its 2007 title. Top-5 team will qualify for 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
Qualification
The final tournament of the 2009 UEFA European Under-17 Championship is preceeded by two qualification stages: a qualifying round and an Elite round. During these rounds, 52 national teams will be competing to determine the seven teams that will join the already qualified host nation Germany.
Qualifying round
The qualifying round was played between September 15 and October 28, 2008. The 52 teams were divided into 13 groups of four teams, with each group being contested as a mini-tournament, hosted by one of the group's teams. After all matches have been played, the 13 group winners and 13 group runners-up will advance to the Elite round. If two or more teams are tied in points, a tie-break will apply according to the following criteria:[1]
- Higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;
- Superior goal difference resulting from the group matches played among the teams in question;
- Higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question;
- If, after having applied criteria 1. to 3., two teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1. to 3. will be reapplied to determine the ranking of the two teams. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 5. and 6. will apply.
- Results of all group matches:
- Superior goal difference.
- Higher number of goals scored.
- Drawing of lots.
Alongside the 26 winner and runner-up teams, the two best third-placed teams also qualify. These are determined after considering only their results against their group's top two teams, and applying the following criteria in this order:[1]
- Higher number of points obtained in these matches;
- Superior goal difference from these matches;
- Higher number of goals scored in these matches;
- Fair-play conduct of the teams in all group matches in the qualifying round;
- Drawing of lots.
The host team of each group's mini-tournament are indicated in italics in the tables below.

Elite round
The Elite round will be played during March 1–31, 2009. The 28 teams advancing from the qualifying round will be distributed into seven groups of four teams, with each group being contested in the same format as in the previous round. The seven group-winning teams will qualify for the final tournament in Germany.
The draw was conducted on December 4, 2008, at UEFA's headquarters, in Nyon, Switzerland.[2] Each team was previously allocated to one of four drawing pots, according to their qualifying round results. The seven sides with the best record were present in Pot A, and so forth until Pot D, which contained the seven teams with the weakest record. During the draw, each group was filled with one team from every pot, meaning that no team from the same pot could be drawn together. In the same way, teams having faced in the previous round could not be drawn together.
The hosts of the seven one-venue mini-tournament groups are indicated below in italics.[3] [4]
