BACKGROUND

What is the background to the UEFA European Under-21 Championship? Held every two years, the UEFA European Under-21 Championship consists of a qualifying group stage,

play-offs and, from 2021, a 16-team final tournament.

Qualifying is open to all UEFA member associations. For the 2021 edition, teams initially competed in

a qualifying group stage, with the nine section winners and best runner-up originally joining co-hosts

Hungary and Slovenia in the finals. The other eight runners-up were to compete in play-offs for the four

remaining places; however, these were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and, instead, the five

best runners-up joined the group winners and co-hosts in the finals.

The final tournament, expanded to 16 teams for the first time from 2021, consists of four groups of four.

Sides play each other once, with the four group winners and four runners-up reaching the quarter-finals.

There will be a standard knockout format from there. For 2021, because of the effect of the COVID-19

pandemic on the football calendar, the group stage (March) and knockout phase (May/June) will be split.

Players are eligible for the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship if they were born on, or after, 1

January 1998.

History of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship Today’s prestigious UEFA European Under-21 Championship enjoys worldwide acclaim, but it has evolved

considerably since UEFA first put the idea to its member associations in January 1967.

What is now the UEFA European Under-21 Championship has its roots in the late 1960s, but there have

been many stages in its evolution to the high-profile biennial tournament of today.

The format has changed down the years, but the competition’s raison d’être has remained the same:

to provide a stepping stone from youth football up to the full international stage. The roll call of great

players who have graduated from European football’s elite finishing school is testament to its enduring

success. Andrea Pirlo, Zinédine Zidane, Rudi Völler, Davor Šuker, Luís Figo, Raúl González and Frank

Lampard to name but a few have all played their part in making the UEFA European U21 Championship

one of the highlights on the football calendar.

BACKGROUND

The UEFA European Under-21 Championship is now a high-profile tournament with worldwide standing,

but it has undergone many changes since UEFA first proposed the idea in January 1967. The Challenge

Cup for National Representative Under-23 Teams was launched. Seventeen associations signed up, from

which Bulgaria and East Germany were drawn to play the first match. It was held in Stara Zagora on 7

June 1967, with Bulgaria winning 3-2 to become the first champions. Like in boxing, they were simply

required to defend their title against a series of challengers and Bulgaria then Yugoslavia dominated the

early years. The foundations for today’s competition had been laid.

It was not until 1976 that the age limit was changed to U21, when UEFA decided the gap between U18

and U23 levels was too great. By now the Challenge Cup format had given way to qualifying groups

followed by a knockout competition from the quarter-finals onwards. Yugoslavia prolonged the early

eastern dominance by winning that first final over two legs. However, Italy and Spain have gone on to

leave the greatest mark on the competition, winning the U21 championship five times apiece, with Spain

the current holders after matching Italy’s trophy tally in 2019.

Italy were first crowned champions in 1992 and successfully defended their title two years later when, for

the first time, the semi-finals and final were played as a single tournament in France. Pierluigi Orlandini

scored the extra-time golden-goal winner for Italy in Montpellier in the first final to be decided by a single

match. The final tournament was expanded to eight teams in Romania in 1998, when Spain interrupted

Italy’s run of success, but the Azzurrini were back on top in 2000, the year the group stage was

introduced in the final tournament. The semi-final round was then reinstated in 2002, when the Czech

Republic triumphed in Switzerland.

In 2007, the event was switched to odd years to avoid clashing with the UEFA European Championship

and FIFA World Cup. So, with the U21 Championship taking centre stage, the Netherlands put on a show

on home soil, beating Serbia 4-1 in the final to lift the crown. They failed to make it a hat-trick two years

later as Switzerland knocked them out in qualifying, and instead it was Germany’s time to shine, Horst

Hrubesch’s team avenging their 1982 final defeat by England with a record 4-0 triumph in Malmö. Spain

made it three victories in 2011, overcoming Switzerland 2-0 in Denmark, and two years later retained

the title by defeating Italy 4-2 in Israel. Sweden then won the 2015 edition in the Czech Republic and

Poland hosted the expanded 12- team tournament in 2017, where Germany beat Spain 1-0 for a second

title. Spain were to exact revenge two years later when they claimed their fifth crown with a 2-1 victory

against Germany in the 2019 final at the Stadio Friuli in Udine.

HOW THE DRAW WILL WORK

Draw Results

The draw will create four groups of four teams, each group being composed of one team from each pot:

Draw Procedure

The draw starts with Pot 4, from where a team is drawn and assigned to the first available group (in

alphabetical order);

• To determine the position of the drawn team within the group, a ball is drawn from the relevant bowl,

e.g. “Group C” to determine the position within the group (C1, C2, C3 or C4).

• The next ball is drawn to be assigned to the next available group; again, a ball is drawn from the

relevant bowl containing the group positions; the same procedure is repeated until every team from

Pot 4 has been assigned to a group and been given a position in the group in question.

• Once Pot 4 has been emptied, the draw continues with Pot 3 then Pot 2 and concludes with Pot 1.

• Draw conditions apply as follows:

Hungary are assigned to position A1 and Slovenia are assigned to position B1. When drawing the

teams from Pot 4, the groups A and B are therefore not available for the two other teams in this pot.
