MU17s drawn into Group 5 for Elite Round Qualifiers

The Ireland Men’s Under-17s will face Portugal, Germany and Croatia in the Elite Round of Qualifiers for the U17s EUROs next year following a draw in Nyon this morning.

Colin O’Brien’s side finished second in their group having beaten Armenia 4-0 and drawing 0-0 with both Iceland and Switzerland.

Last year, O’Brien led his team to the quarter-finals of the tournament and will be looking to reach the finals in Cyprus in the summer.

To qualify they must win or finish runner-up in their group. This is the last year that 16 teams can qualify for the finals. From the 2024/25 season onwards qualification will consist of Round 1 and Round 2 in a League A and League B format where just eight teams will make the U17 EURO Championships.

Portugal will host the mini tournament, from March 18-26, 2024. Venues will be allocated in due course.
