England will entertain Slovakia, Sweden and Malta in March next year, after the four nations were drawn together in the Elite Round of the UEFA European U17 Championship.

England have been selected to host all the matches in Group 7 and they will take place on 27 March, 29 March and 1 April 2010.

John Peacock's young side made it through to the Elite Round by topping their initial Qualifying Round group with three wins from three, over Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Serbia. The nation who tops Group 7 will go on to compete in the Finals of the European Championship, which is being held in Liechtenstein next May.
