2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification play-offs

The 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification play-offs constituted the second and final round of the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification tournament. The ties were contested over two legs, with the first leg played on 9 and 10 October and the second leg played on 14 October 2014. The seven winners qualified for the final tournament in Czech Republic.[1]

Seedings

The draw for the play-offs was held on 12 September 2014 in Nyon to determine the seven pairings as well as the order of the home and away ties. The seven group winners with the highest competition coefficients were seeded and those teams were drawn against the unseeded teams. Nations from the same group could not be drawn against each other.[2][3]

Each nation's coefficient was generated by calculating:[4]
