The forum with the participation of eight national teams will take place on July 15-28 in Northern Ireland. The top two teams from each quartet will advance to the semifinals, and the main trophy will be played at Windsor Park in Belfast on July 28. The match for third place is not foreseen, but the fifth place will take place, as Europe will delegate five representatives to the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup, which will be held in Chile with the participation of 24 teams. So the winner of the match between the third teams of the groups will join the four semifinalists.
We will add that this will be the eighth final tournament of the European Championship for the Ukrainian U-19 team.
