Leicester's Walkers Stadium has been selected as the venue for an England Under-21 UEFA Championship qualifier.

Stuart Pearce's Under-21 team will take on Montenegro on Friday 12 October in the first competitive international of the season on home soil. Kick-off is 8pm.

The match will be a crucial fixture in the Young Lions' bid to qualify for the 2009 European Under-21 Championship to be held in Sweden. Tickets will cost just £10 for adults and £5 concessions.

Pearce's team reached the Semi-Finals of the Championship in Holland this summer. Many of the stars of that tournament are still eligible for the U21 team and will be joined by a fresh crop of talented young English players.

England Under-21 Coach Stuart Pearce said: "Leicester is an excellent stadium and we hope a big crowd will turn out to support the Under-21s. It will be an important qualifier for us following on from away matches in September."

The Under-21s open their season with a friendly against Romania at Bristol City on Tuesday 21 August. The team then travel to play back-to-back European Championship qualifiers against Montenegro (7 September) and Bulgaria (11 September).

Tickets will go on sale on Friday 17 August priced £10 adults, £5 concessions from the ticket hotline 0870 499 1884. Group discounts will be available via TheFA.com.
