Lega Nazionale Serie B (Italy) - International Results
Football League (England) - International Results
Lega Nazionale XI was the Representative Team of the Italian “Lega Nazionale Professionisti”. It was a Selection of all the “Serie A Championship” players, independently of their nationality. However, during the seventies (three Matches, in total) only Italian players were fielded, because the Team was used as a sort of “Reserve” (or “B”) Team of the full “A” NT.

The players who play in “Serie B Championship” (which also belongs to “Lega Nazionale Professionisti”), are selected for another Representative.
