England have been drawn alongside Macedonia, Hungary and Latvia in the elite qualifying round of the UEFA U19 Championship.

The round-robin tournament will take place next spring with the top-placed nation making it through to the Euro finals, which will be held in Finland between 16-29 July 2018.

The Three Lions, who won the U19 Euros last season, made it through to the final round of qualifying by defeating Faroe Islands, Iceland and Bulgaria last month.

Meanwhile, Paul Simpson’s side will begin their 2018-19 campaign against Turkey, Iceland and Moldova.

The 2019 finals will be staged in Armenia.
