Belgium U21

Belgium U21 is a very modest national team in terms of historical achievements. For many years, they could not qualify for the final part of the continental championships at all. However, in 2002 they qualified for the first time. So, they have done it three times until now. The best achievement of the Belgians is the bronze medal at Euro 2007. Now they will try to get back among the winners. It will be complicated to do this since they look noticeably more modest against the background of the main favorites.

Netherlands U21

Netherlands U21 does not always qualify for the European Championships' final part. They experienced their best years in this age category in the first decade of the XXI century, when in 2006 and 2007, they became the winners of the competition twice in a row. They got among the medalists at the last Euro 2021, reaching the semifinals and losing to the Germans - 1:2, winning bronze medals. In qualifying for Euro 2023, they performed very powerfully, scoring 26 out of 30 possible points in ten games with a goal difference of 32:3.
