The Romania national under-21 football team, also known as Romania under-21s or Romania U21(s), is considered to be the feeder team for the Romania national football team.

This team is for Romanian players aged under 21 at the start of the calendar year in which a two-year European Under-21 Championship campaign begins, so some players can remain with the squad until the age of 23. As long as they are eligible, players can play for Romania at any level, making it possible to play for the U21s, senior side, and again for the U21s. It is also possible to play for one country at youth level and another at senior level (providing the player has not played a senior competitive game in his previous country.)

History

The U-21 team came into existence, following the realignment of UEFA's youth competitions, in 1976. Romania qualified for the 1998 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, and under Victor Pițurcă reached the quarter-finals, where they were knocked out by the Netherlands. Romania had been 1–0 up, but were eventually beaten 2–1. The Romanian lineup included players like: Cosmin Contra, Bogdan Lobonț, Cătălin Munteanu, Ionel Dănciulescu and Ion Luțu.

Romania once again qualified unbeaten for the finals after topping their group in the qualifying series. The Romanians reached semi-final of the UEFA European Under-21 Championship for the first time in their history in the 2019 UEFA Under-21 Euro but eventually lost 4–2 to defending champions Germany who scored twice in the dying moments. Romania qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics for their first Olympics since 1964. Overall, Romania was a revelation at the tournament, beating both England and Croatia (4-2 and 4–1), and looked on course for a shock before Germany fought back to make the final.

Romania U21s do not have a permanent home. They play in stadia dotted all around Romania, in an attempt to encourage younger fans in all areas of the country to get behind Romania. Because of the lower demand compared to the senior national team, smaller grounds can be used.

Romanias U21-landslag i fotball er det nasjonale fotballandslaget for Romania for menn under 21 år. Det blir styrt av Romanias fotballforbund. Landslaget deltar i kvalifiseringer for U21-EM, og har som mål å kvalifisere seg til EM-sluttspill.

Romania U21 har deltatt i U21-EM ved to anledninger, i 1998 og 2021. I 1998 nådde de semifinalen, mens de i 2021 ble slått ut i gruppespillet.

Landslaget har en rekke talentfulle spillere, som blant annet Florin Tănase, Dennis Man og Ianis Hagi. De har også en sterk defensiv organisering, og har ofte vist seg å være vanskelige å bryte ned for motstanderne.

Romania U21 er et lovende lag med potensial til å nå langt i fremtidige U21-EM. De har en god blanding av erfarne og unge spillere, og har vist seg å være konkurransedyktige mot de beste lagene i Europa.
