Georgian National U-17 Team started Elite Round of European Championship 2011 with failure. In the first round Georgian team lost with French team 0:2 and if we take under consideration that only winner of the group goes to final talking about chances is embarrassing.
The match was held at Stade de la Beaujoire in the city of France, Nantes. Haller scored at the 31st minutes and Yaisien scored at the 50th minutes. French team had quite big advantage as it seems from statistics.
On March 27 Georgian team plays against Belarusian one and the last match is held against Norway on March 30.
