England And Scotland Kept Apart In U-19 Euros

The draw for the finals, which are being staged in Northern Ireland from 8-20 August, was held at Belfast City Hall this afternoon.

The group games will be played in four venues across Northern Ireland: National Football Stadium at Windsor Park, Belfast; Mourneview Park, Lurgan; Ballymena Showgrounds and Shamrock Park, Portadown.

The winners and runners-up in both groups will face each other in the semi-finals at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park.

After the draw, Irish Coach Alfie Wylie said: “It’s fantastic and very exciting. We can look forward to three wonderful games.

“Taking on Spain, who were finalists last year, in the first game will be a great occasion. They are a superb team from a top footballing country.

“The senior teams of all three nations are taking part in the Women’s Euros this summer. This is a fantastic opportunity for our girls to test themselves against some of the best teams in Europe.”
