About UEFA Euro U-21
History, Format, Organization, Media Coverage
The UEFA European Under-21 Championship, often called Euro Under-21 or Euro U-21, is a biennial football tournament for under-21 national teams of UEFA member associations. Established in 1978, it is organized by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and serves as a standalone tournament and a qualifying event for the region’s Summer Olympics.
Held every two years during the summer, usually in June, the tournament has occasionally started in March or May. Since the 2021 edition, it has featured 16 teams, an increase from 12, with countries qualifying through a separate tournament and the host(s) guaranteed a spot. The 16 participating teams are divided into four groups, each country playing every other team in a single round-robin format. The top two teams from each group advance to the knockout stage, which includes the quarterfinals, semifinals, and final. All knockout matches follow a single-elimination format.
The UEFA European Under-21 Championship, held the year before the Summer Olympics, acts as the qualifying tournament for that event, with 3-4 countries qualifying based on whether the Olympics are hosted in Europe. The semifinalists typically secure these Olympic slots. To be eligible, players must be no older than 21 when the qualifying campaign begins, meaning players up to 23 years old can participate in the competition proper. The tournament is held in odd-numbered years.
The inaugural Euro U-21 final took place in 1978, contested by the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia, with the latter winning 5-3 on aggregate over two legs. Meanwhile, Italy claimed the title in 1994 when the tournament shifted to a single-leg final format. Italy, Spain, and England have been the most notable sides in this competition, with the Young Lions winning back-to-back titles in 1984 and 1986, while Gli Azzurrini triumphed in three straight years and four out of five editions from 1992 to 2000.
Furthermore, the tournament has featured several iconic European players, including Laurent Blanc, Davor Šuker, Luís Figo, Fabio Cannavaro, Andrea Pirlo, and Petr Čech.
