THE NATIONAL UNDER-19 SELECTION

The Portuguese Under-19 selection which began in 2002, makes it possible for its athletes to acquire experience that may take them to the main selection.


The first game won by the team by 1-0, was against The Irish Republic on the 2nd October 2002, this game was for the selection for the European Championship. Even though it had never been selected for the European Championship, the under-19 selection, just like A-selection, has demonstrated a great evolution as a result of the good work of the clubs which has been focused on the training of the athletes.


In the 70 games played, the under-19 selection scored 85 goals and suffered 129.
From the best scorers ever the following outstand:
1 - Carolina Mendes - 15 goals
2 - Filipa Galvão - 12 goals
3 - Mélissa Antunes - 5 goals
4 - Ana Borges - 5 goals
5 - Cláudia Neto - 5 goals



The under-19 coaches have been the same who work with thw main selection. In 2002, when Nuno Cristóvão was the National Coach, he was also the under-19 coach, the same happened with José Augusto betwen 2004 and 2007 and now with Mónica Jorge, since 2007. In the under-19 Mónica is assisted by Susana Covas.
