The Serbia national under-21 football team is the national under-21 football team of Serbia and is controlled by the Football Association of Serbia. Both FIFA and UEFA consider the Serbia national team to be the direct and sole successor of the Yugoslavia under-21 and Serbia and Montenegro under-21 national teams.
History
Serbia's under-21 national team qualified for the 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship held in the Netherlands, in June 2007, after winning a two-game play-off against Sweden. After a 3ā0 loss at home, Serbia overturned the result two weeks later, defeating Sweden 5ā0, and advancing to the final tournament. Serbia's 2007 U21 Championship campaign was successful, as they finished in second place, losing the final to the hosts, by a score of 4ā1. On their way to the final, they defeated Italy (1ā0), Czech Republic (1ā0) and Belgium (2ā0). The only other loss, besides the final, was the third group game against England (0ā2), which was a meaningless game for the Serbian team, as they had already qualified for the semi-finals.
