Italy national under-15 football team

The Italy national U-15 football team is the national under-15 football team of Italy and is controlled by the Italian Football Federation.

In the past, the commencing of national under-15 team depends on the result of Italy national under-17 football team.

However, in 2002–03, U17 qualified to the final tournament, thus the aforementioned cycle did not start, thus the new U16 roster of next season (2003–04) finally carried the name "U15" for 2002–03 season, in a friendly tournament in June 2003.

Instead, a summer training camp was held for U14–15 in recent years, for example, in 2007,[1] 2009[2] as well as Christmas youth tournament with U16 (e.g.: 2004,[3] 2005,[4] 2007,[5] 2008;[6] 2009[7]) The under-15 team became a regular basis since 2011–12 season as a feeder team of Italy national under-16 football team regardless of the result of U17.

The majority of the squad was selected from national "giovanissimi" under-15 league.
