ROSSONERI YOUTH SECTOR, ROAD TO THE FINALS | OneFootball

With Easter celebrations just passed, spring is in bloom, and the 2025/26 season is drawing to a close. This is the final push not only for the first teams, the professional squads, but also for the youth teams, which between May and June will be ready to compete in the final stages of their respective age-group championships. It’s a time when the daily work is put to the test in terms of results, alongside the month-by-month development of the players.

Starting with Coach Baldo's Under-17s, a team made up of players born in 2009 and 2010 (with a few younger players), who are competing in a tough and balanced Group B. The Rossoneri are in the race for a Playoff spot, three points ahead of sixth-placed Cagliari, with one game in hand, which will kick off on Sunday 3 May, with the first round. This knockout phase will feature a total of eight teams, with two qualifiers joining the top two from each group, who automatically advance to the quarter-finals starting in June.

Coach Parolo's Under-16s will kick off their national phase at the end of April. They are currently top of Group B, two points ahead of Inter and five ahead of Atalanta. In this age group, there are no automatic advances, every team starts from the round of 16, with the first leg scheduled for 26 April (or 29 April if a player is on national team duty) and the second leg a week later. The quarter-finals are set for 10-17 May, the semi-finals in June (also over two legs), leading up to the final.

The dates for the round of 16, quarter-finals and semi-finals is also set for Coach Cresta's Under-15s. This team currently leads their age-group group (+2 points over second-placed Atalanta, +10 over third-placed Cagliari) and will play the first leg of their round of 16 on Sunday 3 May, with the return leg a week later. The Quarter-finals, if needed, are scheduled for 17 and 31 May with the final stage taking place in June. The Final Four for the Women's Primavera is already confirmed: in the last two rounds, the Rossonere will face Juventus, Roma, and Sassuolo for the final standings.
