The 2021 UEFA Regions' Cup was originally to be held as the 12th edition of the UEFA Regions' Cup, a football competition for amateur teams in Europe organized by UEFA, before being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] The final tournament of this edition would originally be held in June 2021, with the qualifying rounds originally taking place in 2020. However, on 17 June 2020, UEFA announced that the tournament had been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] Lower Silesia from Poland were the title holders.[4]

Teams

A total of 36 teams entered the tournament.[5] Each of the 55 UEFA member associations could enter a regional amateur representative team which qualified through a national qualifying competition, or when applicable, their national amateur representative team. Associations were ranked according to their UEFA coefficients, computed based on results of the last three seasons (2015, 2017, 2019), to decide on the round their teams entered and their seeding pots in the preliminary and intermediate round draws. The top 28 associations entered the intermediate round, while the bottom 8 associations (ranked 29–36) entered the preliminary round.[6] The draws for the preliminary and intermediate rounds was held on 3 December 2019, 14:00 CET (UTC+1), at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. The mechanism of the draws for each round was as follows:[5]

  • In the preliminary round, the eight teams were drawn into two groups of four without any seeding.
  • In the intermediate round, the 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four. Each group contained one team from Pot A, one team from Pot B, one team from Pot C, and either one team from Pot D or one of the four teams which advanced from the preliminary round (whose identity was not known at the time of the draw):
    • Preliminary round Group A winner would be assigned to Group 1.
    • Preliminary round Group B winner would be assigned to Group 2.
    • Preliminary round Group A runner-up would be assigned to Group 3.
    • Preliminary round Group B runner-up would be assigned to Group 4.
    • The four teams from Pot D would be drawn to Groups 5–8.

Based on the decisions taken by the UEFA Emergency Panel, teams from Russia and Ukraine could not be drawn in the same group. The hosts for each group in the preliminary and intermediate rounds would be selected after the draw.
