The 1990 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, which spanned two years (1988–90), had 30 entrants. San Marino competed for the first time. USSR U-21s won the competition.

The 30 national teams were divided into eight groups (six groups of 4 + two groups of 3). The group winners played off against each other on a two-legged home-and-away basis until the winner was decided. There was no finals tournament or 3rd-place playoff.

Qualifying Stage

Draw

The allocation of teams into qualifying groups was based on that of 1990 FIFA World Cup qualification with several changes, reflecting the absence of some nations:

  • Groups 1 and 2 featured the same nations
  • Group 3 did not include Iceland (moved to Group 4)
  • Group 4 did not include Wales, but included Iceland (moved from Group 3)
  • Group 5 did not include Cyprus (moved to Group 6)
  • Group 6 did not include Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland and Malta, but included Cyprus (moved from Group 5)
  • Group 7 did not include Switzerland (moved to Group 8)
  • Group 8 composed of Switzerland (moved from Group 7), Italy and San Marino (both of whom did not participate in World Cup qualification)
