The seven group-winning teams qualified automatically for the final tournament in Hungary.
The draw for the elite round was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, on 28 November 2013.
If two or more teams were equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria were applied to determine the rankings.
[3] Additionally, if two teams which had the same number of points, goals scored and goals conceded played their last group match against each other and were still equal at the end of that match, their final rankings were determined by means of a penalty shoot-out.
This procedure was applicable only if a ranking of the teams was required to determine the group winner.
