ARNHEM, Nov 24 (SW) - Reigning European Under-21 champions the Netherlands were drawn with neighbors Belgium after Friday's draw for the 2007 edition of the finals, to be held in Holland.

The tournament was held in 2006, but has been bumped up a year to 2007 to avoid future clashes with major tournaments such as European Championships and World Cups in even-numbered years. The next European Under-21 Championship will be held in 2009.

The tournament will begin on 10 June of next year and will conclude with the final at Groningen's Euroborg Stadium 13 days later.
