European qualifiers are the name of the game during this international break for our academy starlets, with 10 of our Hale Enders representing their countries over the next fortnight.<\/p>\n
Two simultaneous UEFA Euro under-19 qualifying campaigns are taking place in March, with current under-19 squads looking to secure passage to this summer’s competition in Wales, and under-18 sides kick-starting their journeys to qualify for next summer’s tournament in Czechia.<\/p>\n
Khary Ranson<\/strong> and Max Dowman <\/strong>are in the England under-19s set up and will face Portugal, Poland and Serbia, who have Louis Zecevic-John<\/strong> in their squad. The top side in these current under-19s qualifiers will qualify for this summer’s tournament.<\/p>\n Licensed O’Neill’<\/strong>s impressive season has earned him a place in the Northern Ireland under-19s. The winger will take on Ukraine, Romania and Kazakhstan for a chance to qualify after hosting the tournament back in 2024.<\/p>\n Demian Agustien <\/strong>will be in action for the Netherlands under-19s as they take on Finland, Slovenia and Spain over the next week.<\/p>\n Lastly, Brayden Clarke<\/strong> has been selected by Wales under-19s. The nation has already qualified for this summer’s showpiece as hosts and will take on the United States as part of their warm-up programme.<\/p>\n Qualifying for next summer’s UEFA Euro U19 competition kicks off this month, with under-18 squads competing for a chance to reach Czechia in 2027.<\/p>\n Goalkeeper Jack Porter<\/strong> is with the England under-18s, who are in action against Bulgaria, Spain and Croatia. Alex Marciniak<\/strong> is in the under-18s for Wales, who will travel to Switzerland for matches against France, Hungary and the Swiss.<\/p>\n Elsewhere, there are two players in the under-17s bracket. Marli Salmon<\/strong>who has made four first-team appearances this season, has a trio of Euro U17 qualifiers with England. The Young Lions face the Faroe Islands, Israel and Estonia in the first round of qualifying.<\/p>\n Patrick Strachow<\/strong> is in action for the Poland under-17s, hosting Ireland, Croatia and Slovakia in the first round of qualifiers. <\/p>\n Northern Ireland U19 (O’Neill) v Ukraine<\/strong> England U19 (Ranson, Dowman) v Serbia U19 (Zecevic-John)<\/strong> England U18 (Porter) v Bulgaria<\/strong> England U17 (Salmon) v Faroe Islands<\/strong> Poland U17 (Stachow) in Ireland<\/strong> Netherlands U19 (Agusiten) v Finland<\/strong> Wales U18 (Marciniak) v France<\/strong> Wales U19 (Clake) v United States<\/strong> England U18 (Porter) v Spain<\/strong> England U19 (Ranson, Dowman) v Poland<\/strong> Poland U17 (Stachow) in Slovakia<\/strong> England U17 (Salmon) v Israel<\/strong> Netherlands U19 (Agustien) v Slovenia<\/strong> Serbia U19 (Zecevic-John) v Portugal<\/strong> Northern Ireland U19 (O’Neill) v Romania<\/strong> Switzerland v Wales U18 (Marciniak)<\/strong> England U18 (Porter) v Croatia<\/strong> England U17 (Salmon) v Estonia<\/strong> Serbia U19 (Zecevic-John) v Poland<\/strong> Portugal U19 v England U19 (Ranson, Dowman)<\/strong> Northern Ireland U19 (O’Neill) v Kazakhstan<\/strong> Poland U17 (Stachow) in Croatia<\/strong> Netherlands U19 (Agustien) v Spain<\/strong> Wales U18 (Marciniak) v Hungary<\/strong> Copyright 2026 The Arsenal Football Club Limited.
