The Under-15 National Team will hold its third training session of the season tomorrow, Thursday, 30th October at 14:45 CET, at the Coverciano Federal Training Centre, after the Northern training camp in Novarello and the Southern camp in Catanzaro. This session will be focused on the Central-Northern region.

Coach Enrico Battisti has called up 44 players, born in 2011, who participated in the latest edition of the Under-14 National Tournament “Il calciatore dell’Evoluzione Programme.”

This initiative was part of the Youth and School Sector’s key projects, held from May 9-11 at the Olympic Preparation Centre in Tirrenia. Among the participants were midfielder Michele Lorio, who joined Sassuolo this summer from Campania’s amateur club Real Casarea; the forward Mattia D’Ambrosio, who joined Pisa from Lombardy’s amateur club Varesina Sport; and defenders Christian D’Aiello, Pierre Edouard Touadi, and forward Gian Michael Portuondo, who moved from Lazio’s amateur team Nuova Tor Tre Teste to Genoa, Sassuolo, and Torino, respectively.

The next stop for the Azzurrini will be the Central-area camp in Rome on 6th November. The Christmas Tournament is scheduled from November 21 to 23 in Novarello, while the UEFA Development Tournament, which will mark Italy’s first official international trip, is set for December 14 to 20 in England.
