Many players who succeed at this level go on to play for the senior national team. The U21 setup gives them experience in competitive matches against other European nations.
Turkey U21 has competed in several UEFA U21 Championship qualification campaigns. Although they reached the final tournament only once in 2000, the team continues to compete hard in qualifiers.
