Kacper Koscierski from VfL Bochum has been nominated for the U19 German national team. The 18-year-old right-back will play in the European Championship in Wales. The tournament will take place from June 28 to July 11. Koscierski will be supported by Pablo Thiam, the Director of Talent Development, who will be present for a few days. "We are naturally proud that one or two of our players have made it into the German squad and two more are on standby. This is a great honor for the entire club. For the players, it's a wonderful opportunity to show themselves under top competition conditions in their age group. We wish them all the best and good luck!" Koscierski played 11 times for the professionals in the 2. Bundesliga last season. In addition to the right-back, Francis Onyeka, who was loaned from Bayer Leverkusen, was also called up to the 20-man squad. Darnell Keumo and Luis Pick are on standby. In the group stage, the German U19 national team will face Denmark (June 28, kick-off: 21:00), host Wales (July 1, kick-off: 21:00) and Spain (July 4, kick-off: 15:00). The final will take place on July 11.
