Star-studded tournament
"We want as many people as possible to come and watch the star-studded tournament in Sweden which is why the Swedish Football Association (SvFF) and UEFA have come up with attractive ticket prices and special offers," said UEFA project director and UEFA head of national team competitions Mikael Salzer. "Each match will be a top-class football event with spectacle on the pitch and in the stands as well as outside the stadiums and in the cities."

'Football party'
Hosts Sweden have been drawn in Group A alongside Belarus, Italy and Serbia, while Spain, Germany, England and Finland make up Group B. It is a strong lineup and Karl-Erik Nilsson, tournament director at the SvFF, cannot wait for the action to begin. "Things are now in place for the summer's football party," he said.

'Great boost'
"We know which teams are coming and we know where they'll play. Our organisation is in place and the Swedish people are well aware of the 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. With UEFA making such a clear gesture at trying to attract young people to the matches we have received a great boost in our marketing campaign and in our attempts to sell each and every one of the 225,000 tickets we have at our disposal."
