## Notes

[edit]

1. ^ Monopoli received a call-up to a friendly tournament in March 2008,[2] however the archive of Italian Football Federation did not have the record of the matches (Ireland, Turkey, Malta), thus his cap for the under-16 team was at least 4, as indicated by the archive, and a (unused?) substitute appearance against Turkey, as indicated by Turkish Football Federation.[3]
