And in Cluj-Napoca, the matches of Group D will be held in which France, Italy, Norway and Switzerland will face each other, and then a quarter-final.

In Georgia, Group C and Group D matches will be played. These will put face to face national teams of Germany, England, Czech Republic, Israel, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium and Georgia, and then two quarter-finals, a semi-final and the final of the competition.
“It is a responsibility and an honor for us to be the hosts of this competition alongside Georgia. It is a confirmation that the presence of Bucharest among the host cities of EURO 2020 was a success and we hope that in the future Romania will also organize other European competitions. I want to thank the mayors of the Capital, Sector 6 and Cluj-Napoca for the support they give us in organizing the tournament. I am sure it will be a memorable experience for football fans. The final #U21EURO tournament has been the launching pad for big names in European football over the years and this edition is sure to shine a spotlight on new names in football at the highest level. The final UEFA Under 21 tournament also aims to inspire new generations of football-loving children. Because age doesn’t matter when the quality of football is so high”, said Răzvan Burleanu, president of the Romanian Football Federation.
Romania participates for the third consecutive time in this competition and, thanks to the performances obtained in the previous editions, it was drawn in the second urn.
Ianis Hagi, official ambassador of the competition and representative of the U21 generation who managed Romania’s best performance at #U21Euro 2019, in Italy, said: “I was very happy when I received the proposal to be the ambassador of this competition that is also held at our home. It is an honor for any footballer to play in front of his own supporters, even more so in a final tournament. We have a generation with a lot of potential and I want them to surpass the performance achieved by us in 2019. They will meet top teams in Europe and they will need all the support that I know the Romanian fans are capable of. The moments of Italy 2019 are something unique in my soul. And I am convinced that, together with 30,000 fans in the stands, ours are capable of memorable matches”.
