In my previous update I said that the top two in each group qualify for the knockout stages, which is true.
What I forgot is that we need 32 teams in the 1st Round, so that means the eight best third placed teams also qualify.
The best eight third placed teams are: SL Benfica Dynamo Moskva, Sampdoria, AC Milan, CA Independiente II, Stoke City, FC Schalke 04 and RSC Anderlecht.
Everyone else (bar Inter and Chievo who each forfeited three group games) drops into the Youth Shield.
The results and final tables can be viewed here.
The seeded draw for the main Youth Cup Knockout Stage is here.
1st Round is on 21 June, one leg only. Please arrange your matches.
Youth Shield will begin the following week and matches will be confirmed after the first round of Youth Cup games.
