A truly historic decision was made today at UEFA headquarters.
Details: Serbia and Albania have been officially confirmed as the hosts of the 2027 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. Their joint bid was the only one submitted.
This is particularly significant given the long-standing territorial disputes between Albania and Serbia over Kosovo.
The leaders of both nations view this joint bid as a step toward reconciliation and reducing hostilities.
It has been confirmed that the opening match of the tournament will take place in Belgrade, Serbia, while the final will be held in Tirana, Albania.
Reminder: This summer, the 2025 UEFA U-21 European Championship will be hosted by Slovakia.
