The team competes in the [[UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship|European Under-21 Championship]], held every two years. Following the realignment of [[UEFA]]'s youth competitions in 1976, the Dutch Under-21 team was formed. The team did not have a very good record, failing to qualify for nine of the fifteen tournaments. The team did not enter for the 1978 competition, but since then has reached the semi-finals twice, and qualified for the last eight on three other occasions. Since the under-21 competition rules insist that players must be 21 or under at the start of a two-year competition, technically it is an U-23 competition. For this reason, the Netherlands' record in the preceding U-23 competitions is also shown. The first competitive match was in the "Under-23 Challenge", a match which they lost. The team qualified for the last eight of each of the three U-23 tournaments. In 2006 the Netherlands national under-21 football team of coach [[Foppe de Haan]] won the [[2006 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship|2006 European Under-21 Championship]]. [[Klaas-Jan Huntelaar]] became top scorer and player of the tournament with four goals, and also broke the all-time goalscoring record of 15 goals previously held by [[Roy Makaay]] and [[Arnold Jan Bruggink]], in his last match with the team as he pushed this record to 18 goals. The following year, Netherlands national under-21 football team successfully defended their title by winning the [[2007 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship|2007 European Under-21 Championship]] in the final against [[Serbia national under-21 football team|Serbia]] with 4–1. [[Maceo Rigters]] was the top scorer of the competition with four goals and [[Royston Drenthe]] was the Player of the Tournament. The win meant that the Netherlands qualified for the [[2008 Summer Olympics]] in [[Beijing]]. The team failed to qualify for the [[2009 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship|2009 European Under-21 Championship]], after losing out to [[Switzerland national under-21 football team|Switzerland]] in their final qualifying match. ==UEFA U-23 Championship record== The Netherlands were randomly chosen to play cards [[Bulgaria national under-21 football team|Bulgaria]] for the title in a one-off match in [[Sofia]], which the Netherlands lost. *17 April '''1968:''' Bulgaria 3–1 Netherlands. * '''1972:''' Losing quarter-finalists. * '''1974:''' Losing quarter-finalists. * '''1976:''' Losing semi-finalists. ==UEFA U-21 Championship Record== [[File:2007 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship-final.jpg|thumb|300px|Serbia and the Netherlands enter on to the field for the final of the [[2007 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship|2007 tournament]].]] * '''1978:''' Did not enter. * '''1980:''' Did not qualify.
