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.[2][3] After the tournament was renamed the European Under-18 Championship, England won twice more, in 1980[4] and 1993.[5] 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.[6][7]
