The '''Belarus national under-21 football team''' is the national under-21 [[Association football|football]] team of [[Belarus]] and is controlled by the [[Football Federation of Belarus]]. The team competed in the [[UEFA European Under-21 Championship]], held every two years.

==History==
The team qualified for the final round of the [[UEFA European Under-21 Championship]] three times. In [[2004 UEFA European Under-21 Championship|2004]] in [[Germany]] and [[2009 UEFA European Under-21 Championship|2009]] in [[Sweden]] the team was unable to advance past group stage.

In [[2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship|2011]] at U21 Euro in [[Denmark]] they advanced to semifinal with only one win (against [[Iceland national under-21 football team|Iceland]]) and two losses (against [[Denmark national under-21 football team|Denmark]] and [[Switzerland national under-21 football team|Switzerland]]) and having better 3-way head-to-head record against Iceland and Denmark (as all three teams had identical overall results). The team lost 1-3 to [[Spain national under-21 football team|Spain]]. They defeated the [[Czech Republic national under-21 football team|Czech Republic]] 1–0 in the third-place match and qualified for the Men's Football Tournament at the [[2012 Summer Olympics]].

After the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]], [[UEFA]] banned Belarus from hosting international competitions.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10028559-uefa-bars-belarus-from-hosting-international-games-after-invasion-of-ukraine|title=UEFA Bars Belarus from Hosting International Games After Invasion of Ukraine|first=Rob|last=Goldberg|website=Bleacher Report}}</ref><ref>[🖉{{Cite web|url=https://www.rferl.org/a/ioc-bans-russian-belarusian-athletes/31728487.html]|title=Russia, Belarus Suspended From International Soccer, Hockey Over Ukraine Attacks|website=RadioFreeEurope/RadioLiberty}}{{Dead link|date=October 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
