Harvey Elliott has been named Player of the Tournament for the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
The UEFA Technical Observer Group has named England's Harvey Elliott as the 2025 UEFA European Under-21 Championship Player of the Tournament.
"Without doubt England's most effective player from the first game onwards," said the UEFA Technical Observer Group. "Tactically, he showed incredible awareness to be able to find the spaces to receive passes in dangerous positions, and then the ability to make a difference inclusive of creating and scoring some of his team's most crucial goals in their winning campaign.
"He also showed excellent leadership qualities with a great work ethic and team behaviour. A big player for the big stage."

This must be a real joke. 22 years old playing Under 21 tournament?ππππππ€π€π€π€ No one will convince me with whatever explanation. If it's Africa now, the news will be everywhere on social media, even though you didn't put on your data the news will still appear in your phone due the pressure of their insistence for it to go viralπππππππππ
don't comment if you don't know the tournament rules. As long as the players who were under 21 at the beginning of the qualification process are eligible to participate in the tournament, even if they've since had birthdays that put them over the 21-year-old threshold. This ensures that teams can retain talented players who have developed throughout the qualification process.the players are eligible to play as long as they are under-21 when the qualifying process started
