Hungary to Host 2024 UEFA European Under-19 Championship

Cyprus Withdraws Hosting Rights

The Hungarian Football Federation (MLSZ) has officially been awarded the hosting rights for the 2024 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. The tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Cyprus, but the Cyprus Football Association (CFA) withdrew its bid due to financial difficulties.

Hungary's Bid

Hungary submitted a strong bid to UEFA, highlighting its experience in hosting major football tournaments. The country successfully hosted the 2014 UEFA Women's Champions League Final and the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup.

The MLSZ also committed to providing first-class facilities and infrastructure for the tournament, including modern stadiums, training grounds, and transportation.

Tournament Details

The 2024 UEFA European Under-19 Championship will be the 22nd edition of the tournament. It will feature 16 teams competing for the title.

The tournament will be played in six cities across Hungary: Budapest, Debrecen, Győr, Pécs, Székesfehérvár, and Tatabánya.

Hungary's Hopes

Hungary will be hoping to perform well in the tournament. The Hungarian national under-19 football team has a strong history in the competition, having won the title in 2002 and 2008.

The team will be looking to build on its recent success, having reached the semi-finals of the 2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.

Conclusion

Hungary is well-prepared to host the 2024 UEFA European Under-19 Championship. The country has a proven track record in hosting major football tournaments and is committed to providing a memorable experience for all involved.
