Cymru will host a mini international tournament in north Wales next month as part of the build-up to the 2026 UEFA Men’s Under-19s European Championship, which will also be hosted across the region.
The tournament, scheduled for November 12-18, will feature some of the world’s top youth teams which include Germany, USA and Japan.
Matches will be played at several venues across the north, including Central Park (Denbigh Town), Hops and Barley Community Stadium (Rhyl) and the oldest international football ground in the world, the STōK Cae Ras, home of Wrexham AFC.
Craig Knight will lead Cymru MU19s once again, looking to build on their October international window friendly fixtures against Switzerland, the Netherlands and England.
The tournament will provide another invaluable opportunity for Cymru to develop themselves against elite international opposition, ahead of the UEFA U19 EURO finals next summer.
Ticket details for each of the matches will be confirmed in due course. All three of Cymru’s matches will be live streamed by the FAW on it’s RedWall+ streaming service and YouTube platform.
