Nemzeti Tizenegy (National Eleven)
(Fredrikstad, Østfold, Norway; 6 October 1970) U21: Hungary Hungary 7–0 Greece Greece (Kecskemét, Bács-Kiskun, Hungary; 9 October 1976) (Kecskemét, Bács-Kiskun, Hungary; 9 October 1976) (Belgrade, Serbia; 7 September 2008)
The Hungary national under-21 football team is the national under-21 football team for Hungary and is controlled by the Hungarian Football Federation.
Following the realignment of UEFA's youth competitions in 1976, the Hungarian Under-21 team was formed. The team has a modest record, reaching the last eight of three tournaments, and the semi-finals of one, but failing to qualify for eleven, including the forthcoming 2006 tournament.
Since the under-21 competition rules insist that players must be 21 or under at the start of a two-year competition, technically it is an U-23 competition. For this reason, Hungary's excellent record in the preceding U-23 competitions is also shown.
