The Greek U-21 National Team is on the verge of realizing its dream of reaching the Euro U-21 finals for the first time in 25 years!
In their first playoff match against Iceland, the national team left Reykjavik with a “golden” 1-1 draw and has qualification in the palm of its hand!

Under extremely difficult conditions, the national team showed its true mettle. They suffered setbacks with two injuries, but they held their ground. Botis saved a penalty, and even though we “took a hit” in the 89th minute, Greece found the answer in the 90th+2 minute.
In the rematch at Leoforos on November 16, a win will be enough for Yiannis Tausianis’s players to celebrate qualifying for the tournament’s finals for the first time since 2002!
