Preliminary round

The 35 teams entered were drawn into eight groups of four and one group of three, with the following countries hosting each group's matches:

Group 1 –  Bulgaria Group 2 –  Czech Republic Group 3 –  Finland Group 4 –  France Group 5 –  Luxembourg Group 6 –  Malta Group 7 –  Russia Group 8 –  San Marino Group 9 –  Bosnia and Herzegovina

Seven group winners automatically qualified for the final tournament, with the two "worst winners" playing against each other in a playoff for the remaining place.

Playoff

The two teams which won their groups with the least amount of available points went through to compete in a playoff for the remaining final tournament place. In the event of multiple teams sharing the same amount of points, the points margin and score between first and second places was taken into account. The two legs were played in both teams' home regions.
