2012 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship qualifying round

2012 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship (qualifying round) was the first round of qualifications for the Final Tournament of UEFA U-17 Championship 2012. Matches were played between September 21–November 2 2011. All times are CET/CEST.

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 advanced to the elite round.

Alongside the 26 winner and runner-up teams, the two best third-placed teams also qualified. These were 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;
  2. Superior goal difference from these matches;
  3. Higher number of goals scored in these matches;
  4. Fair-play conduct of the teams in all group matches in the qualifying round;
  5. Drawing of lots.
