UEFA European U21 Championships Preview

The 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship is just around the corner, with 16 European nations set to battle it out for glory in Hungary and Slovenia.

The 2021 tournament was rescheduled following the postponement of Euro 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

For the first time, there will be a two-month vacuum between the group stage and the knockout phase.

The tournament’s group stage runs from March 24-31, with the group winners and runners-up qualifying for the eight-nation knockout stage from May 31 to June 6.

Another novelty means the knockout phase will have home-and-away two-legged ties to determine the semi-finals participants.
