How the draw worked
The 16 teams were divided into four pots according to their position in the UEFA Under-21 National Team Coefficient Ranking.
Seeding pots
Pot 1: Spain, England (holders), Portugal, Netherlands
Pot 2: Germany, France, Ukraine, Italy
Pot 3: Denmark, Romania, Poland, Czechia
Pot 4: Georgia, Slovenia, Finland, Slovakia (hosts)
The draw started with Pot 1, from where a team was drawn and assigned to the first available group (in alphabetical order).To determine the position of the drawn team within the group, a ball was drawn from the relevant bowl, e.g. Group B, to determine the position within the group (B1, B2, B3 or B4).The next ball was drawn to be assigned to the next available group. Again, a ball was drawn from the relevant bowl containing the group positions, and the same procedure repeated until every team from Pot 1 had been assigned to a group and been given a position within the group in question.Once Pot 1 had been emptied, the draw continued with Pot 2, then Pot 3 and it concluded with Pot 4.Slovakia were assigned to position A1. Group A was therefore not available for the other teams in the same pot as Slovakia (Pot 4).
