The Germany national under-21 football team represents the under-21s of Germany in the UEFA european Under-21 Football Championship and is controlled by the German Football Association ( DFB ), the governing torso of football in Germany. Before the reunion of Germany, East Germany and West Germany played as break entities — the two teams played individually until summer 1990. Following the realignment of UEFA ‘s youth competitions in 1976, external under-21 football in Europe began. A west german team, however, did not compete in the U-21 european Championship until the qualifying round ( beginning in 1980 ) of the 1982 rival.
West Germany competed in the first two under-23 competitions, which finished in 1972 and 1974. The first under-21 rival finals were in 1978, and since the under-21 competition rules department of state that players must be 21 or under at the begin of a biennial competition, technically it is an under-23 rival. The current Germany team can be legitimately considered as the current personification of the west german team, since the West Germany flag, uniform, and football association all became those of the mix Germany. In effect, the west german team absorbed the east german team to become ‘the Germany national under-21 football team ‘. For these reasons, the record of West Germany for the U-23 and U-21 competitions is shown below .
