England Under-19 ready for Europe’s best  

Head coach Lauren Smith has named a 21-strong squad for the 2025 UEFA Women’s U19 EURO finals.

England are one of eight nations bidding to win the prestigious age-group competition, which will be played in Poland from Sunday 15 June to Friday

27 June. The Young Lionesses are in Group B and will first play the Netherlands on the opening day of the tournament, before facing Portugal on Wednesday

18 June and current holders Spain on Saturday 21 June. Every England game will be broadcast live by the BBC on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and

app.

The top two sides from Group A and Group B will progress to the semi finals and have hopes of lifting the trophy in the final in Rzeszów on Friday 27 June. Qualification for next year’s FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, which will also be played in Poland, is also at stake at the tournament. UEFA has six qualification spots, including Poland as the hosts, meaning a third-place finish in Group B will guarantee England a place at next year’s competition.

Lauren Smith said: “Competing in age-group tournaments is vital for the development of young players, so it’s fantastic to see our Young Lionesses involved in another U19 EURO and with an opportunity to qualify for next year’s U20 World Cup. Only Europe’s top eight teams make it to the finals, so we know the challenge will be tough – but we’re ready to give it our all. Just as importantly, we want to take as much as we can from the EURO experience, both on and off the pitch.”
