Under-18 National Team heading to the 18th Roma Caput Mundi

Now an established fixture in the final weeks of winter, the Roma Caput Mundi tournament will once again feature the San Marino Under-18 National Team. For this reason, the San Marino Academy National Under-17s (from whom coach Cancelli has drawn heavily for his official call-ups) brought forward their league match away to Carpi. Of the twenty players selected, only Leone Arlotti – registered with Rimini – is not wearing the San Marino Academy shirt this season. The young Biancazzurri have been drawn in Group A together with Rush Soccer, Juventus Academy Glen Shields and English Colleges. The San Marino Under-18 National Team will begin their campaign at the 18th Roma Caput Mundi against the latter, kicking off on Monday 3 March at 14:30 at the "Bruno di Giulio" Stadium in Colleferro. The following day they will face the Americans of Rush Soccer, at the same time but at the "Roberto del Bianco" Stadium in Anagni. Finally, on Thursday 6 March, the group stage will conclude with the match between the young Sammarinese and the Canadians of Glen Shield ("Angelo Collacchi" Stadium in Segni, 14:30). The tournament final, between the winners of each group, will be played on Friday 7 March in Anagni, with kick-off at 10:30. Here is the official squad named by Head Coach Nicola Cancelli:
