England national under-18 football team


England national under-18 football team, also known as England under-18s or England U18, 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 Ian Foster.
The team competed in the FIFA International Youth Tournament and its successor, the UEFA European Under-18 Championship, and was often referred to as England Youth. They won the International Youth Tournament seven times, including the first contest in 1948, and four times in five years in the 1970s. After the tournament was renamed to the European Under-18 Championship, England won twice more, in 1980 and 1993. In 2001, eligibility rules changed and the competition was rebranded as the UEFA European Under-19 Championship.
Nowadays, the under-18 banner is used for participation in international friendlies. The 2017 Toulon Tournament was also composed largely of under-18 players.
