In addition to experienced players, a number of youngsters also made the final nominations for the European Football Championship. How are the youngest ones in the basic group F?

Czech Republic – Matěj Jurásek – 20 years old

The Karviná product moved from Silesia to Slavia Prague in 2018. He came through the youth ranks in a Sešivan jersey and also gained experience on loan. He gradually worked his way up to the first team and also took part in European cups.

Despite the fact that he has often been limited by health complications in recent times, he scored four accurate goals in 20 matches in the last competition year. He was also included in the global poll for the best young player under the age of twenty-one.

Portugal – João Neves – 20 years old

The talented midfielder is a product of the Benfica academy in Portugal. He has won the championship title as well as the Portuguese Cup, among others. In total, he has already played 113 games there, scoring five goals. Despite the fact that he is under contract at Benfica until 2028, the transfer market will already be very busy around him.

Manchester United, Liverpool and French side PSG are among the candidates to acquire the 20-year-old Neves. He made his debut for the national team in 2023 and has appeared in seven games since then.

Turkey – Semih Kılıçsoy – 18 years old

At just 18 years old, the striker has undoubtedly caught the eye with his performances in the last competitive season of the Turkish top flight. He scored eleven goals in twenty-three games for his parent Besiktas.

But he has been showing his flair for scoring goals for a long time. He has scored fifty-four goals in all the games he has played.

Georgia – Gabriel Sigua – 18 years old

Georgia called up promising midfielder Sigua, who grew up in Dinamo Tbilisi’s academy, for the championship. In twenty-eight starts for him, he has notched four assists in addition to five goals scored. He was also part of the youth national team.

Last July, he left Dinamo for the squad of Swiss side Basel. He signed a contract there until 2028 and so far managed to score three goals in nineteen matches. He did not make the starting line-up for Georgia’s opening match against Turkey.
