England U19s will begin 2013 on home soil as they face Denmark at Doncaster Rovers' Keepmoat Stadium in February.

Head Coach Noel Blake will be using the game as his first preparation ahead of the European Elite Qualifying Round matches in May.

The draw for the Elite Round was made in Switzerland on Wednesday and the Young Lions will face 'Auld Enemy' Scotland, host nation Belgium and Georgia.

Only one team from the four will progress to the Finals in Lithuania next July, so Blake knows the challenges ahead and will be looking to continue his work with the squad at St. George's Park ahead of those games.

The Young Lions finished 2012 with a 1-0 victory over Finland in November, after previously topping their First Qualifying Round group in Estonia during September and October.

England's U19s were last at the Keepmoat in 2009 when they beat Bosnia & Herzegovina in an Elite Round Qualifier by 2-0, with Doncaster-born Danny Rose scoring the opener as Brian Eastick's squad went on to reach the Final of the Euros in Ukraine later that year.

And they last faced Denmark just over a year ago when the Scandinavians were visitors to a sold-out Amex Stadium in Brighton, when Rob Hall's late goal was enough to secure a 1-0 victory.

England's Under-21s and Women's teams have both played there more recently, with Stuart Pearce's side losing to Greece in March 2010 and the Women featured at the Keepmoat against Serbia in November 2011.
