The team represents Scotland in international Under 20 competitions such as the FIFA U-20 World Cup.

History

[edit]

Scotland reached the quarter-finals of the World Youth Championship on two occasions: in 1983, where they lost to eventual winners Poland; and in 1987, when tournament runners-up West Germany won on penalties. The team last played in a competitive tournament in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, which Scotland qualified for by finishing second in the 2006 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.

An under-20 team was selected for the 2017 Toulon Tournament, the first time since 1999 Scotland competed.[1] Scotland registered a first ever win against Brazil at any level in the groups.[2] The team finished with the bronze medal,[3][4] which was the nations first ever medal in the competitions 45 year history.[5]
