The draw for the UEFA EURO 2008™ qualifying round took place in Montreux, Switzerland in January 2006. The hosts Austria and Switzerland will qualify automatically for the final tournament, so the remaining 50 teams were drawn into seven qualifying groups.

Fourteen to qualify
The qualifying matches will be played on dates according to the international match calendar between mid-2006 and November 2007. The seven group-winners and seven runners-up will join the hosts in the final tournament in June 2008.
