Romania will host the 72nd edition of the UEFA Under-19 final tournament between June 13–26, 2025, with our national team automatically qualified for this continental celebration of young talent. We are only the second country in Europe entrusted with organizing this tournament twice, following the 2011 edition!
Back in 2011, the tournament was held in our country on the stadiums of Berceni, Buftea, Chiajna, and Mogoșoaia, with Romania, Czechia, Greece, Ireland, Spain, Turkey, Serbia, and Belgium as participants. Spain lifted the trophy after a final against Czechia.
What would an ideal team look like today, made up of football stars who were just starting their careers at UEFA Under-19 in 2011, right here in Romania? Let’s discover it together and, this summer, follow every match of UEFA Under-19 2025 to witness the rise of tomorrow’s global football stars—live!
