Malta Under-17 National Team Coach Francesco Macri has announced a 20-player squad for the upcoming UEFA Euro U17 Qualifiers, to be held in Serbia over the coming days.

The young team has been drawn in Group 7 of Round 1 of the qualifiers, together with Serbia, Türkiye, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The first encounter will see Malta take on hosts Serbia on Tuesday 11th November at 17:00hrs, with the match being played at the Sportski Centar, Mladost in Pancevo. This will then be followed by another encounter on Friday 14th November, this time against Türkiye, with kick-off at 11:00hrs. That match will be played at FK Voždova in Belgrade. The final match of the group will see Malta take on Bosnia and Herzegovina on Monday 17th November, kicking off at 16:00hrs. That match will also be played at FK Voždovac in Belgrade.

The Malta U17 National Team is coming off the back of a positive window last September, having won twice away to Liechtenstein in two international friendlies.

The team, under the guidance of Macri, will be looking to continue building on those displays, with three tough encounters coming up.
