## Teams

[edit]

A total of 88 teams from 52 of the 55 UEFA member associations will enter the tournament. They are split into two sections.

* UEFA Champions League Path: The youth teams of the 36 clubs which qualified for the 2024–25 UEFA Champions League league stage will enter the UEFA Champions League Path. If there had been a vacancy (youth teams not entering), it would have been filled by a team defined by UEFA.
* Domestic Champions Path: The youth domestic champions of all UEFA associations (with the exception of Liechtenstein and San Marino, who do not have a youth domestic competition, and Russia, who is suspended from UEFA competitions) will enter the Domestic Champions Path. Clubs from the top 28 associations according to their 2024 UEFA country coefficients will qualify for the second round, with the remaining 24 teams starting from the first round. If the youth domestic champions qualify for the UEFA Champions League path, their spot is filled by the youth domestic runners-ups; if the runners-ups also qualify for the UEFA Champions League path, the vacancy is not filled (a change from previous editions where only the winners were taken into consideration).[1]

Aberdeen, Academia Rebeja, Aston Villa, Auxerre, Bologna, Brera Strumica, Brest, Budućnost Podgorica, Bylis, Cliftonville, CSKA Sofia, FC 2 Korriku, FC Santa Coloma, Girona, HB, IFK Göteborg, IMT, Lincoln Red Imps, Progrès Niederkorn, Rapid Wien, Real Betis, Sabah, Sassuolo, Strømsgodset, Sturm Graz, Stuttgart, Tallinna Kalev, The New Saints, Valletta and Zbrojovka Brno will make their tournament debuts.[2]
