About this episode

David Chimbaza provides a recap of the first day at the UEFA U19 Euros, highlighting his experiences and insights from covering the event.

In this special on-the-ground recap from the UEFA U19 Euros in Wales, David Chimbaza shares his first day behind the scenes at the Racecourse Ground as media for The Business of Football Network.
