Russia were originally scheduled to participate in the competition before being excluded due to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine, while Liechtenstein opted not to participate. This meant that the tournament featured 52 of the remaining 54 UEFA member association national teams. Qualification consisted of a qualifying round in autumn 2022 followed by an elite round in spring 2023.[2]

Format

edit

The qualifying competition consisted of the following two rounds:

  • Qualifying Round: Apart from Portugal, which received a bye to the elite round as the team with the highest seeding coefficient, the remaining 51 teams were drawn in twelve groups of four teams and one group of three teams. Each group was played in single round-robin format at one of the teams selected as hosts after the draw. The thirteen group winners, thirteen runners-up, and the third placed team with the best record against the first and second-placed teams in their group advanced to the elite round.
  • Elite Round: The 28 teams were drawn into seven groups of four teams. Each group was played in single round-robin format at one of the teams selected as hosts after the draw. The seven group winners qualified for the final tournament.

The schedule of each group was as follows, with two rest days between each matchday (Regulations Article 20.04):[3]

Matchday 2 1 v 3, 2 v 4
Matchday 3 2 v 1, 4 v 3

Tiebreakers

edit

In the qualifying and elite round, teams were ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss), and if tied on points, the following tiebreaking criteria were applied, in the order given, to determine the rankings (Regulations Articles 14.01 and 14.02):[4]

  1. Points in head-to-head matches among tied teams
  2. Goal difference in head-to-head matches among tied teams
  3. Goals scored in head-to-head matches among tied teams
  4. If more than two teams were tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams were still tied, all head-to-head criteria above were reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams:
  5. Goal difference in all group matches
  6. Goals scored in all group matches
  7. Penalty shoot-out if only two teams had the same number of points, and they met in the last round of the group and were tied after applying all criteria above (not used if more than two teams had the same number of points, or if their rankings were not relevant for qualification for the next stage)
  8. Disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for 2 yellow cards in one match = 3 points)
  9. UEFA coefficient ranking for the qualifying round draw

To determine the best third-placed team from the qualifying round, the results against the teams in fourth place were discarded. The following criteria were applied (Regulations Articles 15.01 and 15.02):[4]

  1. Points
  2. Goal difference
  3. Goals scored
  4. Disciplinary points (total 3 matches)
  5. UEFA coefficient ranking for the qualifying round draw
