The England Women’s U19 team will fly to La Manga later this week to take on Denmark, Finland and Germany, three friendlies which Head Coach, Mo Marley, will use as preparation for their upcoming Elite Round qualifiers.

The U19s lifted the European crown last summer and must overcome this final round of qualifying before they can contemplate defending their title in Macedonia in May. They have been drawn alongside Sweden, Malta and Slovakia in the Elite Round and the matches will take place on 27 March, 29 March and 1 April respectively.

Fourteen members of the squad who successfully made it through the First Qualifying Round will now travel to La Manga for three games in five days. Jodie Jacobs, Samantha Chappell, Shelby Hills and Danielle Carter complete the squad.
