Malta will face Italy, England, Ukraine and North Macedonia in Group C in their bid to qualify for the tournament in Germany. 

Malta will start away in North Macedonia on the 23 March before hosting Italy on Sunday 26 March.

Malta FA President Bjorn Vassallo said: “It’s a historic draw but a very difficult group, everyone knows that, but Malta will have the opportunity to host very interesting matches which will motivate more supporters to flock our stadium.  It will also be an experience for the Maltese players to play at renown stadia.  “I believe that this group will see Malta build on its recent successes and grow.” Vassallo said.
