The represents the under-21s of
Germany in
UEFA U-21 Championship , and is controlled by the
German Football Association , the governing body of football in Germany.
Before the reunification of Germany,
East Germany and
West Germany played as separate entities - the two teams played separately until summer 1990. Following the realignment of
UEFA 's youth competitions in 1976, international Under-21 football in
Europe began. However, a West German team did not compete in the U-21 European Championship until the qualifying round (beginning in 1980) of the 1982 competition.
West Germany competed in the first two under-23 competitions, which finished in 1972 and 1974. The first under-21 competition finals were in 1978, and since the under-21 competition rules state that players must be 21 or under at the start ot a two year competition, technically it is an U-23 competition.
The current Germany team can be legitimately considered as the current incarnation of the West German team, since the
West Germany Flag , uniform and football association all became those of the unified 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.
