The following pairs of teams could not be drawn into the same group because of decisions made by the UEFA Executive Committee that were in effect at the time of the draw.

According to the decision made by the UEFA Executive Committee on February 28, 2022, and as confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on July 15, 2022, all Russian teams are currently suspended from UEFA competitions until further notice.

This suspension applies to Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Ukraine, Gibraltar, Spain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Kosovo, and Serbia. As a result, Russia will not participate in the UEFA European Under-21 Championship from 2023 to 25.
