Italy youth national football team activities

Overview

Italy’s youth national football teams continue their international campaigns across various age groups.

The Under-21 squad, led by Silvio Baldini, recently secured a crucial 1-0 victory against Armenia in Yerevan. The decisive goal was scored by Milan player Alphadjo Cisse during 95th-minute stoppage time following a rebound. This win keeps Italy’s hopes alive for direct qualification to the European Under-21 Championship, though the team remains in second place in Group E with 24 points.

To overtake Poland and secure first place, Italy must defeat Poland by a margin of at least two goals in their upcoming head-to-head match. Poland currently holds the top position, maintaining a three-point lead over the Italian side.

In Croatia, the Under-19 team, coached by Massimiliano Favo, is participating in an international friendly tournament. Following a 2-1 victory over France, the squad is scheduled to face Turkey at the Gradski stadion in Ludbreg, with a subsequent match against Croatia on October 1. Torino FC midfielder Andrea Luongo is expected to feature in the lineup.

Meanwhile, the Under-17 squad, led by Manuel Pasqual, remains engaged in the Istria Youth Cup. In their opening fixture against Turkey, the squad played to a 3-3 draw. Pasqual noted that while the team showed physical resilience and scoring ability, they need to improve ball management and decision-making. The Under-17s are grouped in Group A alongside Turkey, South Korea, and Ukraine.
