Same as previous editions held in even-numbered years, the tournament acted as the UEFA qualifiers for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. The top three teams of the tournament qualified for the 2022 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in India as the UEFA representatives.

Germany were the defending champions, having won the last tournament held in 2019, with the 2020 and 2021 editions cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. In the final, defending champions, Germany won their eighth title by defeating Spain 2–2 (3–2 after penalties).
