England MU19s squad named for EURO qualifiers

England men’s under-19s begin their UEFA U19 EURO 2025 campaign in November, as they travel to Bulgaria for the first qualifying round.

Will Antwi’s team will face the host nation, Lithuania and Belgium in their group, and the head coach has picked a 22-man squad for the trip.

The Young Lions will play Lithuania first, at the Stadion Beroe in Stara Zagora on Wednesday 13 November (11am GMT) before they play Bulgaria at the Stadion Lokomotiv Plovdiv on Saturday 16 November (12.30pm GMT).

They round off their fixtures against Belgium at the Stadion Lokomotiv Plovdiv on Tuesday 18 November (12pm GMT).
