For the UEFA European Women's Under-17 Championship final tournaments of 2021 and 2022, the Faroe Islands and Bosnia and Herzegovina were selected as hosts respectively.[1]
A total of 49 UEFA nations entered the competition, and with the hosts Faroe Islands qualifying automatically, the original format would have seen the other 48 teams competing in the qualifying competition, which once consisted of two rounds: Qualifying round, which was to take place in autumn 2020, and Elite round, which was also to take place in spring 2021, to determine the remaining seven spots in the final tournament.[8] However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, UEFA announced on 13 August 2020 that after consultation with the 55 member associations, the qualifying round was delayed to February 2021, and the elite round was abolished and replaced by play-offs, contested in March 2021 by the 12 qualifying round group winners and two best runners-up to determine the teams qualifying for the final tournament.[9][5]
