Northern Ireland are set to play their second game in the U19 Euros group stages in Larne later today (18 July).
Ahead of that Group A match at Inver Park against Italy (7pm) we focus on the players whom U19s manager Gareth McAuley has chosen to represent Northern Ireland at the 2024 UEFA Under-19 Men’s European Championship.
The squad’s youngest player is striker Braiden Graham, who is just 16. There are also six players aged 17 and nine who are 18. The other four players are 19-year-olds.
