Wikipedia - Italy national under-20 football team
Italy national under-20 football team is the national under-20 football team of Italy and is controlled by the Italian Football Federation.
The team competes for the Under 20 Elite League, held annually and, if qualified, for the FIFA U-20 World Cup, held every two years.
History
The Under-20 team is de facto based on the previous year's Under-19 team and acts mainly as a support team for the Under-21 selection, providing further international experience for young selectable players.
The team competes for its only official tournament, the FIFA U-20 World Cup, depending on the U19s results at the UEFA European Under-19 Championship held in the even-numbered years, that qualifies European teams for the U-20 World Cup.
The best result obtained by the Italian team in the U-20 World Cup is the second place achieved in the 2023 edition held in Argentina, losing 1–0 against Uruguay. They finished also third in 2017 and fourth in 2019. Italy managed to qualify for the first time for three consecutive U-20 World Cups after qualifying for the 2021 edition, but the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each season the team mainly participates in friendly tournaments, in which overage players may also be selected. The U20 team participated until 2017 in the annual Four Nations Tournament with Germany, Switzerland and Poland (which replaced Austria). Since the 2017–18 season, the Italy U20 team participates in the annual Under 20 Elite League, expanded to 8 participants.
The team also had an annual fixture with the Serie D Best XI after the end of the season.
The Azzurrini are known for their rich soccer heritage, characterized by a strong emphasis on technical skill, tactical awareness, and a disciplined approach to the game. The team's colors, blue and white, reflect the national identity, with the iconic "Azzurri" name symbolizing the pride and passion of Italian soccer.
Italy U20 competes in various tournaments, including the FIFA U-20 World Cup and the UEFA European Under-19 Championship, where they aim to showcase their talent on the international stage. The team's development programs focus on nurturing young players, providing them with the opportunity to gain valuable experience and exposure to high-level competition.
With a history of producing world-class players, the Italy U20 team continues to be a breeding ground for future stars, embodying the spirit of Italian soccer and its commitment to excellence. Fans and supporters eagerly follow the Azzurrini, hoping to witness the emergence of the next generation of Italian soccer legends.
