Youth Academy Roundup (18/01/2026) 

The youth sector weekend got underway on Saturday with one win and one defeat. The Primavera side were beaten 2-1 away to Hellas Verona, with Ibrahima Camara on the scoresheet, while the Under-15s impressed in Milan, cruising to a 5-1 victory over AC Milan thanks to a brace from De Sabbata and further goals from Amalfitano (from the penalty spot), Gerri and Berrima.

On Sunday, the U18s were unable to make the most of Curcio’s brace - his first coming from the spot - and Michele Rinaldi’s third goal in as many games, as they went down 4-3 to Roma at the Centro Bortolotti after a topsy-turvy encounter. Also in Zingonia, the double-header against Udinese saw the Under-16s held to a goalless draw, while the U15s suffered a 3-1 defeat, with Giustacchini scoring the lone goal.

As for the women’s setup, the Under 15 continued their impressive run on Saturday, recording another commanding win in the Interregional Phase Play-offs MD2. The Nerazzurri lasses ran out 19-0 winners away at Bresso, with Centonze leading the scoring with four goals, hat-tricks from Premoli, Colleoni, Soligo and Boncioli, and further strikes from Fiorentino, Valecchi and Borghetti.
