On the first and, for us, also the last working day of the first week of May, things were quite lively at the headquarters of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) in Nyon, due to the ball draw ceremony, which, among other things, revealed the opponents for the Slovenian youth national teams in the first round of qualifiers for the upcoming European Championship. Eight teams in the Under-19 category will gather in Romania in the summer of 2025, and Slovenia will attempt to qualify. But the task won’t be easy.
The draw in Switzerland ensured that Slovenian youth players will have to demonstrate all their skills from the outset if they want to advance to the second round of the competition. The opponents will be anything but easy; Slovenia finds itself in Group 1, alongside the perennially strong Ukraine, the traditionally high-quality Netherlands, and the increasingly improving Kazakhstan.
The qualifiers will be played in autumn, and it’s not yet known who will host the tournament. The top two teams from each group will advance to the second round.
