Germany fights against France in the U21 semi-finals: Live from 8:15 p.m.!
Today, June 25, 2025, Germany is looking forward to the semi-finals of the U21 European Championship. After an exciting quarter-final in which the German team defeated Italy 3-2 after extra time, coach Antonio Di Salvo's young stars are ready for the next challenge. The decisive goal came from Merlin Röhl in the 117th minute, which secured the ticket for the semi-finals. Now it's against the former U21 European champions France, who also move into the semi-finals with a 3-2 win against Denmark.
The game will take place at the Košice Football Arena in Slovakia and kicks off at 9:00 p.m. today. The broadcast begins at 8:15 p.m. on free TV on SAT.1 and in the live stream on Joyn, where fans can watch the duel live and free of charge. As Joyn reports, expectations are high since Germany finished first in their group undefeated in the preliminary round. The team celebrated victories against Slovenia (3:0), the Czech Republic (4:2) and England (2:1).
Strong performances from the U21s
One player all eyes will be on is Nick Woltemade. In the last nine games he has recorded an impressive 18 goal involvements - 11 goals and 7 assists. Coach Antonio Di Salvo hopes that this success rate will continue in the semi-final against France. France, on the other hand, are the 1988 U21 European champions and will do everything they can to reach the final again after 2002, when they lost out to the Czech Republic in the final.
The situation couldn't be more exciting: Germany have reached the final three times in the last five U21 European Championships, winning the titles in 2017 and 2021, while they lost to Spain (1-2) in 2019. Another final would underline the dominance of the German U21s.
Transmission modalities
As can be seen from various sources, today's game will not only be broadcast on SAT.1, but also in the live stream eurosport.de, where a live ticker is also available. This offers fans numerous opportunities to follow the action up close. The anticipation for the match against France couldn't be higher and the entire nation is keeping its fingers crossed for a place in the final!
