2024–25 UEFA Youth League Domestic Champions Path
The 2024–25 UEFA Youth League Domestic Champions Path began on 18 September and will end on 11 December 2024. A total of 52 teams will compete in the Domestic Champions Path to decide 10 of the 32 places in the knockout phase of the 2024–25 UEFA Youth League.[1]
Format
[edit]In the Domestic Champions Path, each tie was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level, as the away goals rule had been scrapped, the match would be decided by a penalty shoot-out with no extra time played.[1][2]
The ten third round winners will advance to the knockout phase, where they will be joined by the 22 best-ranked teams from the UEFA Champions League Path.
Teams
[edit]The Domestic Champions Path includes 52 youth domestic champions (or runners-up, if the champions quilified for the UEFA Champions League Path) and will consist of the following rounds:
- First round (24 teams): 24 teams from the 24 lower-ranked member associations according to their 2024 UEFA country coefficients.
- Second round (40 teams): 28 teams from the top 28 member associations according to UEFA country coefficients, and 12 winners of the first round.
- Third round (20 teams): 20 winners of the second round.
Below are the participating teams of the Domestic Champions Path, grouped by their starting rounds.[3]
