Players born on or after 1 January 2000 are eligible to participate.

The qualifying competition will consist of the following two rounds:

Qualifying group stage: 53 teams are drawn into nine groups: eight groups of six teams and one group of five teams. Each group is played in home-and-away round-robin format. The nine group winners and the best runners-up (not counting results against the sixth-placed team) qualify directly for the final tournament, while the remaining eight runners-up advance to the play-offs.

Play-offs: The eight teams are drawn into four ties to play home-and-away two-legged matches to determine the last four qualified teams.

Fixture | Wales U21 vs Republic of Ireland U21
Date | Friday, March 26
Kick-Off | 1pm
Venue | Colliers Park, Wrexham, Wales


Luca Connell, who is on loan at Queen’s Park from Celtic, will join-up with the squad as will Norwich City goalkeeper Sam Blair and Stoke City forward Ethon Varian.

They replace Conor Coventry, Dan Rose and Ademipo Odubeko who aren’t available for Friday’s friendly.
 
West Ham United’s Conor Coventry was promoted to Stephen Kenny’s senior squad ahead of the World Cup qualifiers with Serbia and Luxembourg and the friendly against Qatar.
 
Schalke 04’s Dan Rose misses out due to regional COVID-19 travel restrictions in Germany.
 
Ademipo Odubeko’s withdrawal was agreed between the Football Association of Ireland and West Ham United in the best interest of the player.

He will remain with his club for the international window having only recently returned from injury and, as a result of his busy training and match schedule of late, both parties agreed that it would be beneficial for him to continue working with his club at this time.

Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad
Goalkeepers: Brian Maher (Bray Wanderers), Sam Blair (Norwich)

Defenders: Shane Flynn (Leicester City), Andy Lyons (Bohemians), Mark McGuinness (Ipswich Town on loan from Arsenal), Oisin McEntee (Newcastle United), Andrew Omobamidele (Norwich City), Lee O’Connor (Tranmere Rovers on loan from Celtic), Mason O’Malley (S****horpe United), Lewis Richards (Wolves).
 
Midfielders: Luca Connell (Queen’s Park on loan from Celtic) Conor Grant (Rochdale), Dawson Devoy (Bohemians), Alex Gilbert (Brentford), Conor Noss (Borussia Mönchengladbach), Louie Watson (Derby County).

Forwards: Jonathan Afolabi (Dundee on loan from Celtic), Will Ferry (Southampton), Gavin Kilkenny (Bournemouth), Joshua ‘JJ’ Kayode (Carlisle United on loan from Rotherham United), Ethon Varian (Stoke City), Tyreik Wright (Walsall on loan from Aston Villa).

Even with the withdrawals and injuries, we can put out a good team here.
Looking through who plays where, I'd go with something like:



The area where I am struggling is the centre three but I am thinking Noss is a #10 with Connell behind and Watson looks a real prospect as the lad to take it off the back 4 and progress the play. Coventry would have been a shoe-in there.  This midfield may be a bit light, however...

Ferry and Kilkenny are mobile attacking options and Kayode is a strong #9.

Defensively we look very strong with ball-playing defenders across the park.


If fit, we'd have Smallbone in instead of Noss or Connell.
Obafemi is a tricky one as he plays usually in a two, so am not sure where he'd slot in.
Hodge would be straight in where Watson is.

Kayode had a pretty bad injury for Carlisle, I'm surprised he was named in the squad.
Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.

Yeah, he was hacked down in his last match for Carlyle two/three weeks ago and went to hospital but not as bad as they thought.
I feel at U21 level he's a lad who can do real damage to any defense so am delighted he's back.

If he's not fit, Afolabi is the obvious replacement but things are stalling a bit for him up in Scotland.

Welsh FA might have it on their Facebook page. Think they showed an Ireland Wales Underage game on it last year

Two good and young additions.
Both 18 I believe and promising to see them being involved.

Odd there's no sign of Bowden (playing regular for Spurs U23 and captaining them too) and less so OkoFlex.

But nothing really...he's tired?
All he had to do was spin up the motorway and join up and do a few training sessions.
