2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification Group 8
Group 8 of the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying competition consists of six teams: Denmark, Romania, Ukraine, Finland, Northern Ireland, and Malta. The composition of the nine groups in the qualifying group stage was decided by the draw held on 11 December 2018, 09:00 CET (UTC+1), at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland,[1] with the teams seeded according to their coefficient ranking.
The group is played in home-and-away round-robin format between 6 September 2019 and 13 October 2020. The group winners and the best runners-up among all nine groups (not counting results against the sixth-placed team) qualify directly for the final tournament, while the remaining eight runners-up advance to the play-offs.[2]
On 17 March 2020, all matches were put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
