In accordance with § 7.3, the seeding shall be made based on an overall assessment of results of the last played European U17 Team Championships, the last played European Junior Team Championships and the European Junior Ranking.

7 of the 30 entered teams are seeded for the event and will therefore be placed in seven different groups. The rising badminton country Russia took the second seeding position as their best juniors showed great results during the season and after having secured medals at both youth events in 2011. England and title holders Germany are seeded to reach the semi-finals. They join France, Netherlands and home nation Turkey among the seven leading teams when the draw takes place next Tuesday in Copenhagen, Denmark.
