The 17 went to the third match in the qualifying group in Bosnia and Herzegovina after wins over Belarus (1:0) and home selection (2:0). Although she lost the direct battle for first place with Poland, six points were clearly enough for her to get among the seven best teams from the second ranks, which also qualified for the championship. Coach Jiří Žilák’s charge awaits the final tournament at the turn of May and June in Cyprus.
“Congratulations to the entire team, led by coach Jiří Žilák, on advancing to the European Championship. Their hard work has paid off. In this age category, we secured participation in the final championship for the first time since 2019, and I have no doubt that the team will present itself in a good light in Cyprus in May,” said Petr Fousek, president of the association, on the FAČR website.
The 19th also finished the final stage of qualification with six points and a balance of two wins and one defeat, but only the winning teams in the group advanced to the championship. From the “Czech” team, 100 percent Italy made it to the final tournament, defeating coach Tomáš Janotka’s men 2:1 in the key duel. The young Czechs beat the other participant, Georgia, 1:0.
