UEFA's (and FIFA's) Age Rules

Following their Under-18 Championship finals in July 2001, UEFA changed the names of their two youth championships to better reflect the age-group criteria that had been implemented back in 1997-98. So, the Under-16 Championship became the Under-17 Championship, and the Under-18 Championship became the Under-19 Championship.

If anyone from UEFA has managed to stumble across this page, I wonder if they have considered that there is a much easier naming convention that they could have used, and still could, that would make things so much simpler for the uninitiated. It goes like this:

• Rename the Under-17 Championship to the Under-18 Championship, because every player is under 18 years of age throughout that competition.

• Rename the Under-19 Championship to the Under-20 Championship, because every player is under twenty years of age throughout that competition.

• This would mean that the under-15s become under-16s, the under-16s become under-17s, and the under-18s become under-19s.

The current criteria seems to rely on the premise that players have to be under 17 years of age at the beginning of the year of the under-17 championship finals, and under 19 at the beginning of the year of the under-19 championship finals. Wouldn't it be much easier to follow and understand if the age label related to their age at the culmination of each championship i.e. the higher-profile tournament finals?

There is a slightly different approach to the under-21s in that this level operates in a two-year cycle, whereby we have 23-year-old players competing in the finals, because they have to be under 22 at the beginning of the year in which the qualifying competition begins. So, why don't we make this an under-24 competition? After all, the original idea for under-23 international matches in 1955 was for every player to be under 23 years of age in every match. It was changed to under-21 in 1976, but with two over-age players allowed, and now it's effectively reverted to under-23, but still called 'under-21'!

FIFA could also play their part in changing the Under-17 World Cup to the Under-18 World Cup, especially given the fact that it takes place in the season after the qualifying confederation championships ('though still in the same year' would probably be their defence), so is played for by under-18 teams (with all players actually under 18 years of age)! The same concept applies to the Under-20 World Cup, but as that tournament is for qualifiers of under-19 championships (and, therefore, inconsistent with the naming of its under-17 equivalent), it should be the Under-21 World Cup.

Finally, the under-20 teams would, logically, then change to under-21, though they seem to be currently evolving into some kind of hybrid squad of between twenty- and 22-year-old players, as in England's Elite League participation.

It's a mess, but there is such a simple solution, and why it hasn't been implemented is inexplicable. So, instead of:

U15, U16, UEFA U17, FIFA U17=U18, UEFA U19, FIFA U20, Elite League, UEFA U21

We could have:

U16, U17, UEFA U18, FIFA U19, UEFA U20, FIFA U21, U23, UEFA U24

...whereby every single player is under the specified age of the international match that they are playing in. In other words, 'It does exactly what it says on the tin'!
