Back in July Nathan Trott was a member of the England team that won the UEFA Euro Under 19 Final against Portugal, recently Trott and his teammates watched the Under-19 EURO Elite Round Draw.
Trott and his teammates will face FYR Macedonia, Hungary and Latvia in this spring's Elite Round while Germany and Netherlands are in the same group, as are Spain and France.
The draw was made by last season's Netherlands captain Dani de Wit, who received the 2016/17 Respect Fair Play Trophy from UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin on behalf of his team, but did his nation no favors by matching them with Germany, given a bye to this round alongside fellow top seeds Portugal.
Kosovo, who made it through the Qualifying Round on debut, meet Portugal, the Republic of Ireland and Slovakia while the last two winners before England, France and Spain, are in the same group. The seven group winners will join hosts Finland in July's finals.
