Campionato Nazionale Primavera - Trofeo Giacinto Facchetti (or simply Campionato Primavera) is an Italian football competition played by youth teams (under 20) of all Serie A and all Serie B clubs. The first edition was held in the 1962-63 season but at that time there were two champions because Serie A and Serie B teams played in two different tournaments. Since the 1969-70 season they were unified. On December 16, 2006 it was named in memory of latter Inter captain and chairman Giacinto Facchetti. It translates to "Spring" National Championship, literally.
