Izan Merino to play in the U-19 European Championship

The Málaga CF player has been included in the final squad selected by U-19 national team coach Paco Gallardo for the European Championship in this age category, which will be held in Romania during the month of June.

The homegrown Blue and White player took part in a friendly match last Saturday ahead of the continental tournament, held in Benidorm (1-1 against the United States), where he played the first 45 minutes wearing the captain's armband.

Izan is part of the final 20-player Spain U-19 squad that will travel tomorrow to Bucharest, the Romanian capital, where they will stay together in preparation for the competition.

This coming Friday, the national team will kick off the group stage of the championship with the goal of defending their title and securing a record 10th U-19 European crown.
