One of the highlights of Estonia’s sporting year will take place this May and June, when the UEFA European Under-17 Championship final tournament is held. The tournament’s official supporter is the much-loved beverage producer A. Le Coq.

From 25 May to 7 June, the national teams of Estonia, Spain, France, Denmark, Montenegro, Belgium, Croatia, and Italy will compete for the European title in Tallinn and Rakvere.

The tournament will culminate in the final on 7 June, which will be played at A. Le Coq Arena.

“For the Estonian Football Association and A. Le Coq, this is a landmark year, as we are celebrating 25 years of cooperation that began a quarter of a century ago,” said Mihkel Uiboleht, Secretary General of the Estonian Football Association. “During this time, the number of people playing football in Estonia has increased 2.5 times, we have celebrated memorable victories at A. Le Coq Arena, and experienced unforgettable emotions. It is highly symbolic that A. Le Coq is also supporting the UEFA European Under-17 Championship final tournament, which is a historic event for Estonia as the national team is participating for the first time ever.”
