Two players from Austria that will be participating in the U17 European Championships are Florian Hangl and Mauro Hämmerle, both of whom play for FC Augsburg. In an interview with FCA, striker Hämmerle shares his enthusiasm: "We're going to the European Championships with Austria and are among the best 16 teams in Europe." He continues, "It's a dream come true, not everybody gets the chance to qualify for a European Championship, and Austria hasn't always been there so it's even more special."

This player hails from outside the Bundesliga! Francesco Camarda (16) is AC Milan's star striker hope. He even debuted in the Serie A in November. With an estimated value of around 10 million euros, no other player is as valuable as Camarda. Italy hopes that he can help lead them to the title.
