The Serbia national under-20 football team (Serbian Latin: Omladinska reprezentacija Srbije) is the national under-20 football team of Serbia. Like the senior national team, it is controlled by the Football Association of Serbia. On 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand Serbia U20 won the final against Brazil 2âÂÂ1, becoming the first team representing the country to win a FIFA competition title since their independence from Yugoslavia and the dissolution of Serbia and Montenegro. Yugoslavia U20 previously won the 1987 FIFA World Youth Championship.
Yugoslavia Under-20 had appeared at two World Youth Championships throughout their existence. Their first appearance came at the 1979 tournament, where they were knocked out in the group stage after two defeats (0âÂÂ2 against Poland and 0âÂÂ1 against Argentina) and one win (5âÂÂ0 against Indonesia). Their second appearance in the 1987 tournament was much more successful, as they won the competition, remarkably defeating each of the three other semi-finalists and eliminating the defending champions Brazil during the course of the tournament, with Robert ProsineÃÂki, half Serb-half Croatian, winning the Golden Ball award for Best Player of the tournament.
FR Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro under-20 team did not qualify for World Youth Championships.
Serbia first appearance as independent country came at the 2015 tournament in New Zealand, where they won the competition.
