UEFA Euro Under-21 Championship live on Sky
June 10, 2011 · 0 Comments
Sky Sports will broadcast full live coverage of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship to be held between 11 – 25 June 2011.
Denmark are hosting the 2011 tournament, which is likely to be the biggest football event in the country’s history. Joining them in the finals are seven battle-hardened sides who progressed through a gruelling group stage that began in March 2009, before holding their nerve in the play-offs to seal their place.
For the first time, all 53 UEFA member associations entered the competition and, given the pedigree of the teams that fell along the way, there is no doubting the quality of those still standing.
The tournament kicks off on Saturday 11th June when Denmark face Switzerland and Belarus take on Iceland in Group A. The following day, Group B gets under way with games involving 2009 beaten finalists England, the Czech Republic, Ukraine and Spain.
The Czech Republic were the only side to come through qualifying undefeated and, after stopping holders Germany in their tracks in Group 5, they’ll have high hopes of winning the championship for the first time since 2002.
England’s opening Group B encounter with Spain is on Sunday 12 June in Herning. England then play Ukraine on Wednesday 15 June, again in Herning, before meeting Czech Republic on Sunday 19 June in Viborg. All three games will kick off at 7.45pm (BST) and will be screened live on Sky Sports.
