England MU19s squad named for UEFA U19 EURO Finals

England men’s under-19s will head to Romania in June to compete for the UEFA U19 EURO title.

The Young Lions have reached the last eight of the competition after coming through two qualifying rounds this season, as the 2024-25 year group look to get their hands on a trophy which England last won in 2023.

And head coach Will Antwi has named his squad for the Finals, where England will face Norway in their opening game on Saturday 14 June at the Ilie Oana Stadium in Ploiesti (3pm BST).

Then it’s on to a match with Germany on Tuesday 17 June (6pm BST) at the Arcul de Triumf Stadium in Bucharest, before the Young Lions remain in the capital for their final group match against the Netherlands on Friday 20 June (6pm BST) at the Giulesti Stadium.

The top two nations from the group tables will then progress to the semi-finals which will be held on Monday 23 June, with the final scheduled for Thursday 26 June.

Antwi’s team secured their place at the Finals after topping their elite qualifying round table in March, after a victory over hosts Wales, a draw with Turkiye and then a decisive final-game win over Portugal.

Prior to that, the squad travelled to Bulgaria for the first qualifying round last November, when wins over Lithuania and Bulgaria and a draw with Belgium kick-started their EURO campaign.
