UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying preliminary round

The preliminary round of the UEFA Women's Euro 2017 qualifying competition involved the eight lowest-ranked teams among the 46 qualifying entrants: Andorra, Faroe Islands, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta and Moldova.

The draw for the preliminary round was held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on 19 January 2015, 13:45 CET (UTC+1).[1][2] The eight teams were drawn into two groups of four teams.

The teams were divided into two pots: Pot 1 contained the two pre-selected hosts (Malta and Moldova), while Pot 2 contained the six remaining teams (Andorra, Faroe Islands, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Luxembourg). Each group contained one team from Pot 1 and three teams from Pot 2.[3]

Each group was played in single round-robin format at one of the pre-selected hosts. The two group winners advanced to the qualifying group stage.

All times were CEST (UTC+2).
