History and regulations

[edit]

In 1977,Guerin Sportivo's editorial staff established the award to celebrate the best young footballers in European football.[2]The jury was composed byGuerin Sportivo's andRadiocorriere TV's journalist as well as foreign sports journalists from the most important news outlets across Europe.[2]

Since the inception and until 1992, only under-23 players participating in one of the three European club cups (UEFA Champions League,UEFA Cup,UEFA Cup Winners' Cup) were eligible. The rules changed in 1992, when under-21 player from any European League became eligible, regardless of their participation in any European club cups.[2][3][4][5]
