Germany, the defending champions, will play their first game of the tournament on Monday (17/07/19, 21:00 CEST) as they take on Denmark. They will then take on Serbia and then Austria (20/06/19 and 23/06/19).

Head coach Stefan Kuntz is satisfied with how his team is.  In a friendly against Poland (4x 30 minutes), the Germany U21s came out as 3-2 winners. Meanwhile, Germany’s upcoming opponents beat Croatia in a 1-0 friendly on Wednesday.

Jonjoe Kenny

A day after Germany’s first game, Jonjoe Kenny and the Three Lions will begin their campaign with a game against France on Tuesday (18/06/19, 21:00 CEST). England will also play Romania and Croatia (21/06/19 and 24/06/19).

Semi-finalists will qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics

No team can really afford to slip-up in the group stages. Only the team at the top of the group and the best second placed team will qualify for the semi-finals of the competition and so get a ticket to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

However, there is one exception: England can’t qualify for the Olympics as they will be participating as a team of the United Kingdom. Should England get through to the semis, there will be a deciding game between the next best second placed teams to see who qualifies for the Olympics.
