Malta U19 Coach Paul Gatt has announced his 20-man squad for the upcoming UEFA European Under-19 Championship Qualifiers, set to take place in Poland this month.

Malta is in Group H, which also consists of Gibraltar, Poland, and Türkiye. Malta’s first match will be against hosts Poland and will take place on Wednesday 9th October at 18:00hrs.
