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 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. [1] [2] After the tournament was renamed the European Under-18 Championship, England won twice more, in 1980 [3] and 1993. [4] 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. [5] [6]
For the 2023–24 season, players born on or after 1 January 2006 are eligible. Players born between January and August 2006 are second-year scholars in the English academy system, players born between September 2006 and August 2007 are first-year scholars.
The following players were named in the squad for games against Czechia, Germany and Netherlands, to be played between 20 and 25 March 2024. [7]
Names in italics denote players who have been capped by England in a higher age group.
