2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification Group 8

Group 8 of the 2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifying competition consisted of five teams: Netherlands, Slovakia, Turkey, Belarus, and Cyprus. The composition of the nine groups in the qualifying group stage was decided by the draw held on 5 February 2015.[1]

The group was played in home-and-away round-robin format. The group winners qualified directly for the final tournament, while the runners-up advanced to the play-offs if they were one of the four best runners-up among all nine groups (not counting results against the sixth-placed team).[2]
