UEFA European Under-21 Championship
Group composition
Italy, the country with the highest coefficient from the qualifying tournament, will face surprise package Belarus, Serbia and Montenegro, and Croatia in an intriguing Group A. Meanwhile, hosts Germany have been drawn alongside Switzerland, Sweden and Portugal in a tough-looking Group B.
Italy have pedigree
Neither of the two finalists from 2002, the Czech Republic and France, have reached this year's event. Italy have the strongest pedigree of the eight finalists having won four of the last six editions.
