SCUDETTO IN REACH

AC Milan's Under-15 side (a category previously known as the Giovanissimi Nazionali) is back in the Scudetto final, with the Rossoneri aiming to reclaim a title that has been absent from the Club's trophy cabinet since 2022. That last triumph was secured thanks to Sala's assist and Camarda's decisive goal in the final. Since then, AC Milan's academy has continued to produce strong results at youth level. The Primavera side reached a Youth League semi-final one year and the final the following season, while the Club has also contested two Under-16 Scudetto Finals and one Under-17 Final. Throughout the 2025/26 campaign, the Rossoneri Under-15s have consistently been among the standout teams in their category. They finished top of the table in the regular season and maintained impressive standards both at home and away. It is a particularly significant achievement given the Club's development philosophy: both the Under-15 and Under-16 teams - the first year of the Allievi age group - compete exclusively against players of the same age rather than fielding younger squads.

Within AC Milan's academy structure, players only begin facing older opposition from the Under-17 level onwards. It is no coincidence that the Under-16 side also enjoyed a positive campaign, with Marco Parolo's team reaching the quarter-finals. Expectations for the Under-15 final will naturally focus on the team's attacking quality, but Lorenzo Cresta's side has built its success on collective strength. After narrowly missing out on the final last season, Cresta has now guided his squad one step further. Following their impressive 3-0 victory over Fiorentina in the second leg of the semi-final yesterday, the Rossoneri will now turn their attention to the final, which will take place in Rimini on Sunday 21 June at 18:00 CEST against a formidable Empoli side. The Tuscan club, coached by Alessio Gambirasio, booked their place in the final by eliminating Inter in the semi-finals.
