International football competition

The2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship (also known asUEFA Under-21 Euro 2023) was the 24th edition of theUEFA European Under-21 Championship (27th edition if the Under-23 era is also included), the biennial international youthfootball championship organised byUEFA for the men's under-21 national teams of Europe. A total of 16 teams played in the final tournament, and only players born on or after 1 January 2000 were eligible to participate.[2]

The tournament was co-hosted byRomania andGeorgia.[3] Romania hosted the opening match, while Georgia hosted the final. Romania already hosted the1998 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.

As with previous Under-21 Championships held one year prior to the Olympic Games, this tournament served as European qualifying for the2024 Summer Olympics. BesidesFrance, which qualified automatically as Olympic hosts, eligible teams competed for qualifying (3 berths) for the men's football tournament of the 2024 Summer Olympics, where they will be represented by their under-23 national teams with a maximum of three overage players allowed.

Germany were the defending champion, but they were not able to defend their title after being eliminated in the group stage.

England won their third title by defeatingSpain 1–0 in thefinal. They became the first team to win the UEFA European Under-21 Championship without conceding a single goal in the entire tournament.[4]

Host selection

[edit]

Both Romania and Georgia bid for the tournament separately.[9] The two countries were appointed as co-hosts at the UEFA Executive Committee meeting on 3 December 2020.[3][10][11]
