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. The team competes in the European Under-21 Football Championship, held every two years.
The team is considered the successor to the Serbia and Montenegro national under-21 football team, which in turn was the successor to the Yugoslavia national under-21 football team.
The Yugoslav U21 team represented Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia until the country dissolved in 1992. In 1996 an under-21 team representing the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia began playing. The F.R.Y. (and the team) changed name to Serbia and Montenegro in 2003.
The Serbian team came into existence in 2006 when Serbia and Montenegro separated, and its first competitive matches will be in qualification for the UEFA U-21 Championship 2007. A football governing body (and teams) for Montenegro are yet to be formed.
