England national under-18 football team, also known as England under-18s or England U18(s), represents England in association football at under-18 age level and is controlled by the Football Association, the governing body for football in England. The team is coached by Neil Ryan. [1]
The team competed in the FIFA International Youth Tournament (later taken over by UEFA) and its successor, the UEFA European Under-18 Championship, and was often referred to as England Youth.[2][3] After the tournament was renamed the European Under-18 Championship, England won twice more, in 1980[4] and 1993.[5] In 1997, eligibility rules changed and the competition was rebranded as the UEFA European Under-19 Championship in 2001.
Nowadays, the under-18 banner is used for participation in international friendlies. The 2017 Toulon Tournament was also composed largely of under-18 players.[6][7]
For the 2022–23 season, players born on or after 1 January 2005 are eligible. Players born between January and August 2005 are second-year scholars in the English academy system, players born between September 2005 and August 2006 are first-year scholars.
The following players were named in the squad for games against Netherlands, Faroe Islands and Belgium, to be played between 21-26 September 2022.[8]
Names in italics denote players who have been capped by England in a higher age group.
