Germany qualified for the tournament as group winners, beating Armenia (10-1), Finland (6-2) and Turkey (3-1).

The U17 EUROs will take place in Zagreb and Opatija. Five stadia will be used in the Croatian capital, plus a further two in Opatija, a city on the Adriatic coast. The tournament will also serve as qualification for the U17 World Cup which takes place in India later this year (6th-28th October). Five places are up for grabs for European nations, meaning the four semi-finalists and the winner of a fifth-place play-off will qualify for the World Cup.
