Bulgaria U 17 will play Ireland, Ukraine and Azerbaijan in Group 11 of the First Qualifying Round for EURO 2018.

Our country will host the Qualifying mini tournament, which will be held between 13th and 16th of October 2017.

Host city and stadiums are not yet confirmed. The Under 17 European Championship in 2018 will be held in Finland next year.

"Of course there is enough time to selecting and preparing the best possible team for the upcoming games. I am glad that our country will host the mini tournament. Nowadays there are no weak teams. Azerbaijan is progressing steadily and it shows in the results of all their teams. Not by chance this summer their country hosted the Under 17 European Championship last summer. Ireland has a great tradition in youth football and Ukrainian football has always stood with talented young players" said the Under 17 Head Coach Viktorio Pavlov.
