27.01

For each stage of the competition in which a team is participating, the national association must provide the UEFA administration with a final list of 20 players (surnames, first names, club and date of birth), including at least two goalkeepers and a head coach and assistant coach mentioning their coaching qualifications. In addition, this list must include confirmation from one of the team doctors that all players have undergone the requested medical examination. This list must be completed online by 12:00 CET the day before a team's first match in the relevant mini-tournament or by 24:00 CET two days before a team's first match in the final tournament. Once this list has been submitted, no changes are allowed, except as provided for in Paragraph 27.04.

27.02

For age and identity verification purposes, a printed and signed copy of the final list of 20 players and each player's passport/identity card must be handed to the UEFA match delegate at the tournament organisational meeting the day before the start of each mini-tournament. For the final tournament, a printed and signed copy of the list and each player's passport/identity card must be handed to the UEFA match delegate or a representative of the UEFA administration (as communicated to the teams at the final tournament workshop).

27.03

For identification purposes, a UEFA representative makes a visual check of each player participating in the competition. As a rule, one such visual check takes place at a mealtime at the teams’ accommodation before a team's first match in each mini-tournament and the final tournament.

27.04

Any outfield players or goalkeepers named on the final list of 20 players who become seriously injured or ill may be substituted as follows:

  1. Final tournament: one outfield player may be replaced no later than three hours before the start of the team’s first match. That player can take no further part in the tournament and no other outfield player may be replaced.

  2. All competition stages: goalkeepers may be replaced at any time before the start of a match.

These substitutions are permitted only upon submission of written medical evidence by the team doctor to the UEFA match delegate in one of UEFA's official languages.

27.05

All official player lists are published by the UEFA administration.

27.06

The associations are responsible for ensuring that the aforementioned provisions concerning player eligibility and lists of players are observed.
