Serbia at the UEFA European Championship

(Redirected from Yugoslavia at the UEFA European Championship)

After the completed dissolution of Yugoslavia in 2006, the Serbia national team did not qualify for the next four UEFA European Championships it played qualifiers for, before finally securing a spot at Euro 2024. Its official predecessor teams Yugoslavia and FR Yugoslavia/Serbia & Montenegro were more successful: the team representing "larger" Yugoslavia became European vice-champions twice (in 1960 and 1968) while the union of Serbia and Montenegro (still named "Yugoslavia" until 2003) reached the quarter-finals at Euro 2000.
