England MU19s squad selected for Belgium and Wales internationals

England men’s under-19s head to Spain in October for two games against Belgium and Wales.

Will Antwi’s Young Lions will continue their preparations for November’s UEFA U19 EURO qualifiers with the fixtures, and the head coach has picked a 23-strong squad for the trip.

They face Belgium first on Saturday 11 October at the Marbella Football Centre (10am BST), before they take on Wales at La Quinta Football Centre on Tuesday 14 October (11am BST).

Last month, Antwi’s side were also in Spain where they played three games, beating Ukraine and the Netherlands as well as sharing a 3-3 draw with the host nation at the Pinatar Arena.

In November, the Young Lions will be travelling to Lithuania for the first qualifying round of the U19 EURO, where they will take on the host nation, Scotland and Latvia between 12-18 November.

Wales will host the 2026 U19 EURO Finals, with the next stage of qualifying scheduled to take place in March 2026 should England progress through the first round in November.
