Defending U19 Euros champion and perennial powerhouse Austria (1-0) is in action on Sunday at the Footballzentrum Ravelin in Vienna (kickoff 1pm CET) knowing that a win against Czechia (0-1) will be enough to top Group A. Unbeaten in the in the IFAF U19 European Tackle Football Championships since 2011, Austria would advance having already beaten Spain 17-7 when the 2026/27 tournament kicked off in April.
“Czechia looks really big and physical, and they also have two strong wide receivers,” says Austria head coach Florian Grein “We absolutely must not underestimate them. Compared to us, they also have a lot of players from the 2007 age group, while we are already focusing on younger players (born in 2008 and 2009) who will also be eligible to play in the medal year 2027.
“We hope that many fans will support our national team and give the players an awesome stage. For some players, this might actually be the last U19 national team game of their lives.”
A Czechia win would mean points differential between the three tied teams would be needed to determine a group winner with Spain currently holding the advantage having beaten Czechia by 29 points.
