Lee Carsley’s men are the defending champions, having lifted the title in Georgia back in 2023.

Now, they are back in the showpiece finale, taking on a familiar foe.

Antonio Di Salvo’s side are the only team to have beaten England this tournament, defeating them 2-1 in Group B thanks to Angsar Knauff and Nelson Weiper’s strikes. Alex Scott netted what would prove to be a mere consolation.

Since then, however, England have come into their own, beating pre-tournament favourites Spain 3-1, and sneaking past the Netherlands 2-1 in the semi-finals.

Germany, meanwhile, haven’t let up either, outscoring Italy in the last eight before sweeping France to book their place in Bratislava.
