Men's youth national teams

[edit]

The men's under-19 team will begin qualification for the 2012 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship in Estonia. In the qualifying, they were placed in Group 12 alongside Austria (who will host the group), Malta and Albania. Should they finish in the top 2, or as the best third placed team of the 12 groups, they will qualify for the elite round.

The under-17 team will attempt to qualify for the 2012 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship in Slovenia. Denmark will host Group 5 of the initial qualifying round and face Italy, Austria and Cyprus. A top 2 finish or a record as one of the two best teams in third position will qualify the squad for the elite round of qualifying.
