The WU23 Friendly Finals are moving into their final stage in the Region of Murcia, with the last round of matches now confirmed after a busy few days of international football.
All 12 under-23 national teams have now arrived and settled in, with early arrivals such as Germany, the Netherlands and the United States training bases including La Finca Resort and La Torre Golf. England's squad followed soon after, joining the rest of the teams for what has become a full week of competitive fixtures across the Costa Cálida.
The opening matches have already shown just how evenly matched many of these sides are. The Netherlands and the United States shared a 1–1 draw in one of the first games, setting the tone for a tightly contested tournament. France edged past Scotland with a 1–0 win, while Italy overcame Portugal 2–1. Germany also came through a challenging match against Belgium, winning 2–1 in difficult weather conditions.
With those results in place, attention now turns to the final fixtures, which will decide the remaining positions.
Matches continue on April 16 at both main venues, with free entry available for all games. At Pinatar Arena, a well-known football complex in San Pedro del Pinatar that regularly hosts international training camps and fixtures, Scotland take on Denmark at 1:00pm. Later that evening, France face the United States at 7:00pm.
At the same time, matches will also be played at the Estadio Enrique Roca de Murcia, the home ground of Real Murcia and one of the largest stadiums in the region. Belgium meet Portugal at 1:00pm in the seventh-place play-off, followed by Germany against Italy at 7:30pm to decide fifth place.
The final day of the tournament takes place on April 17, with free entry once again for supporters. The Netherlands play Norway at 1:00pm at Pinatar Arena in the third-place play-off.
The tournament then comes to a close at the Estadio Enrique Roca de Murcia, where England will face Sweden in the final at 12:00pm.
With several close results already and a strong line-up of teams involved, the final matches are expected to follow a similar pattern. Attention now turns to the final to see which side will finish the week on top.
