Slovenia U21

The Slovenia national under-21 football team is the national under-21 football team of Slovenia, under the control of the Football Association of Slovenia. This team is intended for Slovenian players who are 21 years of age or younger at the start of the calendar year in which the biennial UEFA European Under-21 Championship campaign begins, so some players may remain in the team until they are 23.

The under-21 national team was formed in 1992, a year after Slovenia gained independence from Yugoslavia. Their first competitive campaign was the 1996 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers, where Slovenia failed to qualify after finishing third in their qualifying group, two points behind group winners Italy. Slovenia made its first appearance at the European Under-21 Championship in 2021, automatically qualifying as co-hosts.

The Slovenia U21 national football team represents Slovenia in international football competitions for players under the age of 21. As a part of the Slovenian Football Association, the team serves as a vital stepping stone for young talents aspiring to make their mark in senior football.

Known for their technical skills, tactical awareness, and strong team cohesion, the Slovenia U21 squad showcases some of the brightest young prospects in Slovenian football. The team competes in various tournaments, including the UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers, where they aim to establish themselves on the European stage.

Coached by a dedicated staff, the Slovenia U21 team emphasizes player development, focusing on nurturing young athletes to prepare them for future challenges in both club and international football. The team's colors, typically featuring a blend of green and white, reflect the national identity and pride of Slovenia.

With a passionate fan base and a commitment to excellence, Slovenia U21 continues to strive for success, aiming to inspire the next generation of footballers and contribute to the growth of the sport in Slovenia.
