The Latvia national under-21 football team represents the under-21s of Latvia and is controlled by the Latvian Football Federation, the governing body of football in Latvia. The team competes in the UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, held every two years. The team is coached by Aleksandrs Basovs and is currently captained by defender Daniels Balodis.

Following the realignment of UEFA's youth competitions in 1976, under-21 football teams in Europe were formed, while Latvian team was formed only in 1991, after regaining independence from USSR. The team is exclusively for football players that are aged 21 or under at the start of the two-year campaign of the UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship meaning a player can represent the national team until the age of 23. Many U-21 players later represent the senior side.

Latvia U-21 have never yet qualified for the European U-21 championships, but has produced many players, who have become regular internationals for the senior side. Oskars Kļava, Deniss Ivanovs, Edgars Gauračs and Artjoms Rudņevs have all played for the U-21 side and are now first eleven players for Latvia internationally.

Latvia U-21 team plays its home matches at the Skonto stadions, which is also the home stadium of Latvia senior side. Before the opening of the Skonto stadions the team played its home matches in many different venues all around the country, including Ozolnieki, Daugavpils and Liepāja.

History

As a team, Latvia U-21 was formed in 1992, after regaining independence from the USSR. The team played its first match in Vilnius, Lithuania on October 28, 1992 that ended in a 0-0 draw. The team firstly participated in the European Championship qualification in 1994, playing the first match in Riga against Ireland U-21 on September 6, that ended in a 1-1 draw. Since 2001 the team also participates in the Baltic Cup, winning in 2008. Since 1992 Latvia have already played more than 100 matches.

Letlands U21-fodboldlandshold er det nationale fodboldhold for Letland under 21 år, og det styres af Letlands Fodboldforbund (LFF). Holdet konkurrerer i UEFA's U21-Europamesterskab og har endnu ikke kvalificeret sig til en slutrunde.

Holdets cheftræner er Andrejs Perepļotkins, som har haft ansvaret siden 2020. Blandt de mest lovende spillere på holdet er angriberen Vladislavs Gutkovskis og midtbanespilleren Kristers Tobers.

Letlands U21-fodboldlandshold spiller normalt sine hjemmekampe på Daugavastadion i Riga, men bruger også andre stadioner rundt omkring i landet. Holdets fans er kendt for deres passion og entusiasme, og de støtter altid holdet med højlydte sange og bannere.

Selvom Letlands U21-fodboldlandshold endnu ikke har oplevet den samme succes som landets A-landshold, har holdet potentiale til at udvikle sig til en konkurrencedygtig styrke i fremtiden. Med en stærk talentpool og en dedikeret trænerstab er der grund til at være optimistisk for holdets fremtid.
