Guy Azouri admits Israel will have to learn on their feet at the Uefa European Women’s under-19 Championship finals which begin on Wednesday.

Hosts Israel take on Sweden in Lod in a group that also features France and Denmark. England, Germany, Spain and Norway will line up in Group B.

Israel coach Guy Azouri said: “We’ve seen some progress over the past two years and I hope we can demonstrate that. It will be a big step for a side whose best performance in the competition was to reach the elite round."
