Notes

  1. Italy won the final of the 1987 UEFA European Under-16 Championship 1–0 against the Soviet Union. However, UEFA ruled that Roberto Secci had been ineligible to participate in the competition. UEFA stripped Italy of their title and decided to not reaward the under-16 European title that year.[2]
