The Malta FA is hosting Group B4 mini tournament of the UEFA European Women’s Under 19 Championship. The tournament will be played at the Centenary stadium between the 20th and 26th of October 2021.
This mini tournament is part of round 1 of the new UEFA Nations League-style championship. The new format replaces the old qualifying and elite rounds, still featuring one-venue mini-tournaments but now including two leagues with promotion and relegation leading to the 2022 finals in the Czech Republic (who will compete in the two rounds before automatically progressing to the final tournament). The competition returns after the 2019/20 and 2020/21 editions were halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
