England to host 2018 Under-17 European Championships

England win the right to host the Under-17 European Championships in 2018.

England will host the 2018 Under-17 European Championships.

England are the current champions at that age level after John Peacock's side won the 2014 trophy in Malta, but the Football Association has never hosted the Under-17 competition.

Bulgaria won the right to host the 2015 competition, while Azerbaijan will play host in 2016.

"The tournament for Europe's 16 elite nations will be played at venues across the Midlands with St George's Park at its heart," read a statement on the FA's official website.

"Loughborough and Warwick Universities – both training bases during the 2012 London Olympics – will also be involved. The UEFA Executive Committee made the decision at a two-day meeting in Nyon, Switzerland."

Spain have won the Under-17 competition on eight occasions, making them the most successful European side at that level of football.
