rdf:langString The 2021 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualifying competition was a women's under-19 football competition that was to determine the seven teams joining the automatically qualified hosts in the 2021 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship final tournament. Players born on or after 1 January 2002 were eligible to participate. Apart from Belarus, 49 of the remaining 54 UEFA member national teams entered the qualifying competition, with making their debut, where the original format consisted of two rounds: Qualifying round, which would have taken place in autumn 2020, and Elite round, which would also have taken place in spring 2021. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, UEFA announced on 13 August 2020 that after consultation with the 55 member associations, the qualifying round was delayed to February 2021, and the elite round was abolished and replaced by play-offs, contested in April 2021 by the 12 qualifying round group winners, the best runners-up, and the top seed by coefficient ranking, Spain (which originally received a bye to the elite round), to determine the teams qualifying for the final tournament. On 23 February 2021, the UEFA Executive Committee announced the cancellation of the 2021 championship due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic after consulting all member associations.
