history
Czechoslovakia won the first U-23 European Championship with the U-23 national team. Then they were eliminated in the quarter-finals or did not even qualify. After the reorientation of the UEFA youth football competitions in 1976, Czechoslovakia decided to found its own U-21 national team. Until the team was disbanded in 1994, Czechoslovakia was able to qualify for eight of the eleven U21 European championships played. However, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals. Only in the years 1982 to 1986 did they fail to qualify three times in a row.
After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia , the two successors, the Czech national football team (U-21 men) and the Slovak national football team (U-21 men), emerged .
