Parma F.C. youth teams (it. i giovanili) form the youth set-up of S.S.D. Parma Calcio 1913, comprising six squads divided by age group: Juniores, Allievi, Regionali, Prof B Esordienti, and Pulcini.[2]
Juniores
[edit]The Juniores are the Parma football team composed of footballers between 17 and 20 years old, which is the most senior youth category according to Italian football's hierarchy. Each season, the squad is trialled for promotion to the first team before the beginning of the season. Players deemed ready for first team football are registered.
The team has competed in the Italian Campionato Nazionale Primavera, which has been known as the Trofeo Giacinto Facchetti since 2006, but has never won the title.[3] The squad has also competed in the Coppa Italia Primavera, the national Italian youth cup competition, but have also failed to win that competition[4] Having won neither of the two Italian Primavera competitions, Parma have never competed in the Supercoppa Primavera.
The closest the team has come to a major honour was in the Torneo di Viareggio, a major youth tournament contested by teams from all over the world, succumbing to a 3–1 defeat at the hands of Brescia Calcio in 1996. Appearances in the third place play-off of that competition have ended in a 1988 win on penalties over A.C. Milan and a 1–0 defeat to Internazionale in 1989.[5] The play-off was abolished in 2009, but Parma did manage a fourth semi-final appearance in 2012, losing 1–0 to Juventus F.C.[6]
