The 47 national teams were divided into nine groups (seven groups of 5 + two groups of 6). The records of the nine group runners-up were then compared. The top seven joined the nine winners in a play-off for the eight finals spots. One of the eight qualifiers was then chosen to host the remaining fixtures.
3 England were originally scheduled to play two legs against Yugoslavia. However, the first leg which was supposed to have taken place in Belgrade was cancelled due to political tensions.[3] An alternative leg in Luxembourg was also cancelled due to security reasons.[3] A second leg at Mini Estadi in Barcelona was held on 29 March 2000, which England won 3–0.[4]
