history

So far, the youth team has not been able to qualify for a European championship.

Since first participating in the qualifying tournament for the European Championship finals in 1978, the Luxembourgers have only won six games and drawn eleven in 148 games, but lost 131 games. (As of October 17, 2018) Right at the first attempt in 1978 you had no chance against the favorites Portugal and Italy and scored zero points in four games. The qualification had started quite well with a narrow 1: 2 defeat against Portugal on November 28, 1976. At the beginning of the 1980s, efforts were made to achieve the first victory, but with rather limited resources this did not succeed. It was not until the 1985 qualifying round, on November 20, 1985, that the Luxembourgers created the sensation and defeated the top favorites Belgium with a 3-1 win at home. Nevertheless, it was the only win in four games and the Luxembourgers finished last in every tournament as before. In 1989 they drew two games against Belgium and Czechoslovakia , while losing the other four games, leaving Luxembourg only in last place.

The qualifying rounds in 1994 and 1996 were also unsuccessful, only against Hungary and Malta they scored two points with two 0-0 draws. The other 16 games were lost with some high defeats. It was not until 2005 that Luxembourg scored two points against Estonia again, but again it wasn't enough and they had to be content with the last place in the qualifying group. For the 2007 European Championship finals, a pre-qualification took place for the first time, in which the Luxembourgers had no chance against Macedonia and lost 5-0. The team did not improve in 2009 either and came under the wheels with a goal difference of 1:32 in eight games and zero points. On March 27, 2009, the Luxembourgers finally won another point by beating Wales 0-0 . The biggest sensation was created on September 4th, 2009: It was only the second victory of the U-21 team in Luxembourg in a qualifying tournament. They won 1-0 away at Bosnia-Herzegovina and for the first time ever won in a foreign stadium. With four points from eight games, Luxembourg only ever finished last.

In qualifying for the 2019 European Championship , Luxembourg scored two wins (1-0, 1-0) against Bulgaria and one draw (1-1) at home against Slovenia . Despite these seven points, only the last place in Group 9 remained in the end.
