Every UEFA European Under-21 Championship Player of the Match

The Player of the Match award is given to the top performer in every UEFA European Under-21 Championship game.

The UEFA Technical Observer Group will decide who is honoured after every match, with an official trophy handed to the successful candidate after full time. Bolded teams below are those of the selected player.

Matchday 1

11/06: Slovakia 2-3 Spain – Cesar Tarrega

UEFA Technical Observer Group: "He decided the game with a header and was a leader on the pitch. He was strong in defence but also excellent in Spain's build-up play."

11/06: Italy 1-0 Romania – Luca Koleosho

UEFA Technical Observer Group: "His movement and combination play with his team-mates around him caused constant problems for the opposition defenders. Ever dangerous with his dribbling and shooting."

11/06: Portugal 0-0 France – Castello Lukeba

UEFA Technical Observer Group: "A commanding and dominant performance both with and without the ball. His ability to both play forward and step in with the ball created lots of positive attacks for France. Without the ball, he showed great leadership and maturity throughout, read the game brilliantly and produced a defining moment in the game with a goal-line clearance."

11/06: Poland 1-2 Georgia – Giorgi Maisuradze

UEFA Technical Observer Group: "Defended effectively in 1v1 situations and showed good position to defend the box. Combined well from right-back and showed great character and determination to get the assist for the winning goal."

12/06: Ukraine 2-3 Denmark – Oleh Ocheretko

UEFA Technical Observer Group: "He provided two assists and was excellent at finding spaces, putting in a great performance across all aspects of the game, even defensively."

12/06: Germany vs Slovenia – Nick Woltemade

UEFA Technical Observer Group: "Three goals and an exceptional performance with the ball between the lines, showing his ability to connect with the No9, timing to arrive in the box at the right moment, and composure. Slovenia played well but didn't score in the important moments."

12/06: Finland 2-2 Netherlands – Santari Väänänen

UEFA Technical Observer Group: "He was the heart of the Finnish team, pressing well, protecting central defenders and starting attacks with his quality passing."

12/06: Czechia 1-3 England – Tino Livramento

UEFA Technical Observer Group: "A high-energy and extremely positive performance in which the attacking full-back dealt with any defending competently. He made a huge contribution in England's attacking play, making the difference for their first two goals."
