11.6.08, 15:10 by Yordan Tsirov
BFU's official website published the list of 22 players, selected by Bulgaria U-19 national team coach Mihail Madanski for the team's camps ahead of the U-19 European championship finals in the Czech Republic. Meanwhile UEFA has published the tournament schedule.



The extended group of 22 players called up by Madanski started their first camp in Pravets on 10 June, with only the players whose club teams are still in the running for the state U-19 championship leaving the camp for the remaining matches of their sides. Following that the team will be on camp in Germany, where they'll play three friendlies, before returning to Bulgaria. On 12 June the team flies for the Czech Republic, where on 14 June starts the final tournament of the U-19 Euro.

By then, Madanski would have to downsize the squad to 18 players, who are going to participate in the finals. Out of the 18 who qualified Bulgaria for the tournament, only Redding's Radoslav Vasilev and CSKA (Sofia)'s Aleksandar Tonev, who is nursing a broken toe, are missing.

Meanwhile UEFA announced through uefa.com the schedule of the final tournament, as well as the matches, which are going to be televised live on Eurosport. Bulgaria U-19 will first meet Hungary, followed by Germany and finally Spain, in their Group A. Out of these games only the match with Germany will be broadcasted live on Eurosport.
