Recall that the winners of nine groups and the best second-place team will automatically qualify for the final tournament of the European Championship. And eight other second-place teams will determine the owners of four places for Euro 2027 in play-offs.
As is known, the 2027 UEFA Youth Championship will be hosted by four stadiums each in Albania (Tirana, Shkoder, Elbasan, Rogozina) and Serbia (Novi Sad, Loznica, Liskovac, Zajecar), which have automatically qualified for the final round of the competition. The results of the European Championship will determine the participants of the 2028 Olympic Games according to the UEFA quota.
Previously, “FACTS” reported that the Ukrainian “youth” team lost in a friendly match to Albania.
