Some of the most exciting talents in European football will be showing off their skills in Nyon on 10 and 13 April, in the final stages of the 2014/15 UEFA Youth League.
The competition offers young players a springboard into professional European football, with Munir El Haddadi having made his first-team debut for FC Barcelona since helping them to victory in the inaugural UEFA Youth League final last year with a spectacular goal from the halfway line.
"The UEFA Youth League has established itself as the biggest event in the calendar for Europe's best Under-19 teams," said 2009 and 2011 UEFA Champions League winner Éric Abidal. "For the rest of us, it's a golden opportunity to see these rising talents in action on our doorstep, and to enjoy the occasion with friends and family."
Tickets for the semi-finals and the final are available at the Colovray Sports Centre in Nyon, Switzerland. Tickets are free for anyone aged 19 or under and CHF10 for adults (subject to availability). The stadium has a capacity of 4,000, and a maximum of five tickets can be collected per person per match. Anyone wishing to enter the stadium, child or adult, requires a ticket whatever their age and no tickets will be available on matchdays.
All three matches will be played at Colovray Sports Centre and broadcast live on Eurosport.
