The youth team will rise tonight (Friday) to one of the highlights of Israeli sports in recent years, when it will play against the English team in the Euro finals until the age of 19 in Slovakia.
Ofir Haim's surprising team stunned everyone when they defeated the strong France 1: 2 in the semi-finals, but will not settle for second place and want to make history and win the title for the first time in history.
Prime Minister Yair Lapid called the youth team coach, Ofir Haim, and wished him and the team good luck ahead of the final game: "The entire nation of Israel is behind you.
You are a huge pride for the people of Israel and the State of Israel.
You've already proven you're champions, now go see it for the whole world.
we love you.
Successfully".

The odds are against the Israeli team, because the English, who won the semi-final in the corresponding semi-final against Italy, are considered one of the best teams in the world at these ages.
The teams have already met in the tournament in the home stage, and the English won 1: 0 in an even game.
But as we knew Ofir Haim's team in this tournament, it's never worth betting against.
The betting ratio in the English companies for tonight's game: Israeli victory 1 to 6.5 on average.
English victory 1 to 1.5.
Money on the floor?
