The Scotland women's under-23 national football team, controlled by the Scottish Football Association, is Scotland women's national under 23 football team and is considered to be a feeder team for the Scotland women's national football team. As there is no competition organized by FIFA or UEFA for women at under-23 level, the team represents the country usually either in friendlies or invitational tournaments. Scotland does not regularly field a team at Under-23 level, although they played friendlies against Panama in November 2022, [2] [3] Australia under-23s on 26 September 2023 [4] and are due to play the Netherlands under-23s. [5]
The under-23 team is intended to bridge the gap in the step up from the under-19 team to the full national team. It would allow younger players a chance to remain in the national team set-up longer term and an opportunity to remain in the national team manager's plans and possibly provide the players with the most promise a pathway into the full national team eventually.
