International football competition

The2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship (also known asUEFA Under-21 Euro 2025) was the 25th edition of theUEFA European Under-21 Championship (28th edition if the Under-23 era is also included), the biennial international youthfootball championship organised byUEFA for the men's under-21 national teams of Europe. A total of 16 teams will play in the final tournament. Players born on or after 1 January 2002 are eligible to participate.

The tournament took place from 11 to 28 June 2025 and was hosted bySlovakia, who beatBelgium andCroatia in the bidding process.[2] This is the Slovak's second time hosting after hosting the2000 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. It was the first 16-team tournament which was hosted in a single country.[3][4] This was Slovakia's biggest football tournament they ever held.[5]

16 teams took part for the third time since2021. Qualification took place between March 2023 and November 2024.Georgia andSlovenia qualified on merit for the first time after previously co-hosting the2023 and2021 editions respectively.

England defeatedGermany 3–2 in thefinal afterextra time inBratislava, thereby successfully defending their2023 title and winning their fourth title overall.

UEFA deemed the tournament a success, with records being broken.[6] A record amount of sponsors were part of the tournament.[6] Overall, a record 120 million people watched the tournament.[4] However, theSlovak Football Association didn't get a profit after hosting the event.[7] The president of Slovakia,Peter Pellegrini also stated the event was a big success as he said it was a great advertisement of the country.[8]

Host selection

[edit]

In July 2021, UEFA opened the bidding process.[9] The following countries applied:

  • BelgiumBelgium – Slovak media reported that Belgium was also a candidate for the hosting rights.[10][10]
  • CroatiaCroatia – Slovak media had stated that Croatia was a rival for Slovakia.[11]
  • SlovakiaSlovakia – On 1 December 2021, theSlovak Football Association submitted a candidacy for the tournament. Slovak federation president,Ján Kováčik, stated that they had the infrastructure for the event and it was the logical step for the country in its organisation of football tournaments as they cannot host anything bigger.[11][12][13] The Slovak federation contemplated if they should bid for 3 months before they decided to proceed with the application.[10] In autumn 2022, the Slovak federation met withUEFA president,Aleksander Čeferin, and reiterated to him that their bid was serious.[14]

UEFA Executive Committee chose Slovakia as a host on 25 January 2023 at a meeting inNyon.[2][15] Slovakia's experience with hosting UEFA tournaments was deemed as a factor behind their successful bid.[9] This is the Slovak's second time hosting, after2000. Slovakia became the first country to host this tournament since the expansion to 16 teams.[16] Other UEFA tournaments Slovakia have hosted are the2013 UEFA European Under-17 Championship,2016 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship and2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[17]

Organisers expect 50,000 people from across Europe to attend the event.[18]

[edit]

Slovakia's eight proposed venues during the bidding process was used for the tournament.[65][66] The eight stadiums were spread across seven of the eightSlovak regions, with the exception ofBanská Bystrica Region.Trnava Region was the only region to have multiple host cities,Trnava andDunajská Streda. The average capacity of the stadiums was 12,500.[59][67] Six venues used for the competition were deemedcategory 4, with onlyNitra andPrešov's stadiums being classified as category 3.[65]

Seven stadiums were already built before the competition was given to Slovakia, withPrešov's being the only stadium being constructed during the tournament's preparations. Ján Kováčik had stated the ifPrešov's stadium wasn't built in time, they had back-up options.[14]

The implementation of natural grass pitches inTrenčín andŽilina was also done before the tournament.[25][14]Košice's stadium was also upgraded during the tournament's preparations and was completed on 30 April 2024. Košice's upgrades include the installation of an LED screen, camera system and other accessories, plus an additional 6,719 seats were also added, bringing the final capacity to 12,555.[68] 17 training areas were available for the championship, including one for referees.[27]

Despite being already built and meeting requirements, concerns were brought up about theŠtadión pod Zoborom (later renamed the Nitra Stadium for the tournament) inNitra due to lack the lack of experience the stadium had hosting big events.[23][69]Mária Berdisová, director of the organizing committee proclaimed that in terms of infrastructure readiness,Bratislava was the best prepared andNitra was the least prepared, as the latter had the most adjustments that needed to be made for the tournament.[34]

The group pairings were announced on 20 July 2023.[19] The pairings were as follows:Bratislava andTrnava in Group A,Dunajská Streda andNitra in Group B,Trenčín andŽilina in Group C andKošice being paired withPrešov in Group D.[28]

The neighbouring Czechs who visited the country during the tournament were astonished with the quality of the Slovak's stadiums.[70][71]

Construction of Prešov's stadium

[edit]

TheTatran Arena inPrešov was the only venue that was completely under construction during the preparations of the championship. It was the most contentious point of the preparations as concerns were raised numerous times that the venue would not be built in time. Before Slovakia received the hosting rights, the city ofPrešov had previously signed a memorandum of cooperation with theSlovak Football Association about hosting games.[72] By May 2023, construction on the stadium had still not started, signaling more doubts about the venue's readiness. Although, the building of the venue was included in Slovakia's list of sports infrastructure of national importance a month before.[73] The stadium finally started to be built on 27 June 2023,[19] In October 2023, the Slovak federation stated their confidence that the stadium will be built on schedule.[21] On 13 December 2023, the company, tasked with creating the stadium, reversed their decision to terminate their contract and continued to build the stadium.[74] By April 2024, the situation calmed down significantly as the construction was going according to plan.[75] In November 2024, a problem aroused when a criminal report was filed a month before surrounding the stadium and its ongoing construction.[76] However, the problem was quickly fixed after the city and the construction company agreed on a date for the completion of the construction part of the works on the arena.[77] In March 2025, the stadium was nearing its completion and was already handed over to the authorities inPrešov.[33][78] In April 2025, the venue was finally complete. On 3 May 2025, the official opening of the stadium was done. The stadium was inaugurated with a match between the retiredTatran Prešov internationals and Slovakia internationals.[79][80][81][51]

Tatran Arena inPrešov raised 500,000Euros to host the event.[82]
