Following a successful start to tournament The FA have been working alongside local schools to engage children in the area.

The FA’s Tournament Manager Andy Carter said: â€œBefore the tournament started our strategy alongside UEFA was to engage the local communities and get children coming to the matches to watch the stars of the future. 

“We’ve had nearly 25,000 supporters attend the championships so far and the support has been fantastic and we hope this continues tomorrow and across the weekend."

The venues for the remaining quarter-finals will be set and communicated after the conclusion of the group stages on Friday.
