2006 UEFA European Under-21 Championship Qualification
The qualifying groups for the 2006 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, where possible, matched the 7- and 6-team World Cup 2006 qualifying groups of the senior European teams. The exceptions were where Andorra, Faroe Islands, Liechtenstein, and Northern Ireland were involved; none of whom entered an under-21 team. Germany, whose seniors did not need to qualify for the World Cup (as they will be hosts) were added to one of the 5-team groups created by the absence of the aforementioned nations. Europe's 48 national under-21 teams entering were divided into eight groups (six groups of 6 + one group of 5 + one group of 7). The eight group winners played off against the eight group runners-up on a two-legged home-and-away basis to decide the eight qualifying teams. Qualifying Groups Draw The allocation of teams into qualifying groups was based on that of 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification with several changes, reflecting the absence of some nations: * Groups 2, 5, 7 and 8 featured ...

Germany National Under-21 Football Team
The Germany national under-21 football team represents the under-21s of Germany in the UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship and is controlled by the German Football Association (DFB), 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. A West German team, however, 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 of a two-year competition, technically it is an under-23 competition. The current Germany team can ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Liechtenstein National Under-21 Football Team
The Liechtenstein national under-21 football team represents the under-21s of Liechtenstein in the UEFA U-21 Championship, and is controlled by the Liechtenstein Football Association, the governing body of football in Liechtenstein. On 5 October 2022, it was announced that this team would be dissolved for 2023 and 2024, and would return in time for the UEFA U21-Championship 2027 qualification campaign. This decision was made due to the fact that most of the higher quality players in this age category would end up playing for the senior team. Overview The Liechtenstein under-21s first attempted to qualify for the UEFA U-21 Championship in 2006, where they played a home-and-home against Northern Ireland, losing 1–8 on aggregate, thus being eliminated from qualifying. The Liechtenstein under-21s lost their first 59 competitive fixtures, being outscored 232–17. They avoided defeat for the first time on 6 June 2019, beating Azerbaijan during qualifying for the 2021 UEFA European Und ...

Football World Cup 2006 (qualification)
The 2006 FIFA World Cup qualification competition was a series of tournaments organised by the six FIFA confederations. Each confederation – the AFC (Asia), CAF (Africa), CONCACAF (North, Central America and Caribbean), CONMEBOL (South America), OFC (Oceania), and UEFA (Europe) – was allocated a certain number of the 32 places at the tournament. A total of 197 teams entered the qualification process for the 2006 FIFA World Cup. In 2001 FIFA ended automatic qualification of the reigning champion, so that 2002 champions Brazil became first to participate in the qualifying tournament. The hosts (Germany) retained their automatic spot. The original distribution of places between the six confederations called for Oceania to be given one full spot in the final 32; this idea was seen as virtually guaranteeing a place in the finals to Australia, by far the strongest footballing nation in the region. This decision was reconsidered in June 2003 and the previous distribution of p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
