Tidak kurang dari 13 negara yang baru merdeka berkompetisi untuk pertama kalinya – terutama karena jatuhnya pemerintahan Sosialis di Eropa pada awal 1990-an.
No fewer than 13 newly independent nations competed for the first time – due mainly to the fall of [[Socialism|Socialist]] rule in [[Europe]] in the early 1990s.
Russia, yang berkompetisi pada tahun 1994 bergabung dengan sembilan negara bekas Uni Soviet lainnya: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, dan Ukraina.
[[Russia national under-21 football team|Russia]], who competed in [[1994 UEFA European Under-21 Championship|1994]] were joined by nine further former [[USSR|Soviet Union]] states: [[Armenia national under-21 football team|Armenia]], [[Azerbaijan national under-21 football team|Azerbaijan]], [[Belarus national under-21 football team|Belarus]], [[Estonia national under-21 football team|Estonia]], [[Georgia national under-21 football team|Georgia]], [[Latvia national under-21 football team|Latvia]], [[Lithuania national under-21 football team|Lithuania]], [[Moldova national under-21 football team|Moldova]] and [[Ukraine national under-21 football team|Ukraine]].
Pengecualian (karena alasan politik) tim dari Serbia dan Montenegro , kemudian dikenal sebagai Republik Federal Yugoslavia terus berlanjut. Kroasia, Slovenia, dan Republik Makedonia adalah tiga negara bekas Yugoslavia yang bersaing.
The exclusion (for political reasons) of the team from [[Serbia and Montenegro national under-21 football team|Serbia and Montenegro]], then known as the [[Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]] continued. [[Croatia national under-21 football team|Croatia]], [[Slovenia national under-21 football team|Slovenia]] and the [[Republic of Macedonia national under-21 football team|Republic of Macedonia]] were three former states of [[Yugoslavia]] who did compete though.
[[Czechoslovakia]] menjadi dua negara terpisah – tim dari Republik Ceko dan Slovakia melengkapi daftar pendatang baru.
[[Czechoslovakia]] became two separate nations – teams from the [[Czech Republic national under-21 football team|Czech Republic]] and [[Slovakia national under-21 football team|Slovakia]] complete the list of new entrants.
44 tim nasional dibagi menjadi delapan grup (empat grup berisi 5 + empat grup berisi 6). Pemenang grup bermain melawan satu sama lain dengan sistem kandang-tandang dua kaki untuk menentukan empat besar, salah satunya akan menjadi tuan rumah empat pertandingan terakhir. Lima negara teratas lolos ke Olimpiade Atlanta '96.
The 44 national teams were divided into eight groups (four groups of 5 + four groups of 6). The group winners played off against each other on a two-legged home-and-away basis to determine the final four, one of whom would host the last four matches. The top five nations qualify for the [[1996 Summer Olympics|Atlanta '96 Olympics]].
