UEFA Euro 2008 Qualifying

Seedings

Qualification coefficients were used to rank the teams according to their results in both UEFA Euro 2004 and FIFA World Cup 2006 qualifying stages. Only the group matches, and not any additional playoffs, counted towards the coefficients, also determining which pot a national team was put in. Some points to note:

Greece were European champions, thus were automatically seeded in the top pool.
Portugal did not have to qualify for UEFA Euro 2004 as they hosted the tournament. Only their record in 2006 World Cup qualifying was used.
Germany did not have to qualify for the World Cup 2006 as hosts. Only their record in UEFA Euro 2004 qualifying was used.
Kazakhstan had never competed in the European Championships, so only their World Cup record was used. The team's last continental qualifying was for the 2000 Asian Cup. Their record in that competition (P4, Pts6) is not used.
After the independence from Serbia for Montenegro, Serbia took up the old Serbia and Montenegro's fixtures. Montenegro had not been admitted to UEFA/FIFA at the time the qualifying competition had started, and therefore did not compete until the qualifying for the 2010 World Cup.

The draw took place on 27 January 2006 in Montreux, Switzerland.
