Medal record
|
In Israeli football (soccer), the Israel national under-19 football team (Hebrew: נבחרת (הנוער של) ישראל בכדורגל עד גיל 19) and the Israel national under-20 football team (נבחרת ישראל בכדורגל עד גיל 20); or simply Israel Under-19s, Israel U19s; Israel Under-20s, Israel U20s - both squads are also regarded as the feeders for the Israel national under-21 team.
This team is for Israeli players aged 19 (or under) at the start of a two-year UEFA European Under-19 Championship campaign) so players may be up to 20 years old, such as in the FIFA U-20 World Cup. In addition to the Israel's senior squad, there are also the Israeli squads for U-21 players, and other youth teams such as, the U-18, the U-17, and the U-16. Players are not level or nation static so can compete at any level as long as they are eligible; U19s do not relinquish level or nation association while competing and can compete on senior side, then back to U19s, and "youth level' or senior level with another nation.[citation needed]
As of 2021, the Israel U19 home ground is the Netanya Stadium in the city of Netanya, Israel.
