The 48 teams were divided into 12 groups of four teams, with each group being contested as a mini-tournament, hosted by one of the group's teams. After all matches have been played, the 12 group winners and 12 group runners-up and the best third-placed team advanced to the Elite round. Estonia qualified as hosts while England, France and Spain received byes to the elite round. Liechtenstein did not enter.
The draw took place at 30 November 2010, 10.00 CET.
The hosts of the twelve one-venue mini-tournament groups are indicated below in italics.
If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings.
Additionally, if two teams which have the same number of points and the same number of goals scored and conceded play their last group match against each other and are still equal at the end of that match, their final rankings are determined by the penalty shoot-out and not by the criteria listed above. This procedure is applicable only if a ranking of the teams is required to determine the group winner or the runners-up and the third-placed team.
