Matthias Lehmann (18) Christian Eggert (8) (Adelaide, Australia; 3 October 1981) (Christchurch, New Zealand; 1 June 2015) (Empoli, Italy; 5 December 2001) Germany national under-20 football team, also known as Germany Under-20s or Germany U20(s), represents Germany in association football at an under-20 age level and is controlled by German Football Association, the governing body for football in Germany.
Because there is no under-20 competition at UEFA level, Germany's under-20 side has generally only played competitive matches when it has qualified for the FIFA U-20 World Cup, which is held every 2 years, via the under-19 championship. Since the 2017–18 season, Germany also contest the Under 20 Elite League, winning the inaugural season.
