1998 UEFA European Under-21 Championship squads

The following is a list of squads for each nation competing at 1998 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Romania. The tournament started on 23 May and the final took place in Bucharest on 31 May 1998.

Players born on or after 1 January 1975 were eligible to play in the tournament. Each nation had to submit a squad of 20 players, two of which had to be goalkeepers. If a player was injured seriously enough to prevent his taking part in the tournament before his team's first match, he could be replaced by another player.

Players in bold have later been capped at full international level.

gollark: They keep adding new features but they're poorly integrated with everything and just tacked into random parts of the UI!
gollark: It would be better if Discord could integrate with other more open platforms - even *Google Talk* could - so you could avoid the terrible client application and stuff could move to other things without horrible problems - but it *doesn't* and they *actively ban* this in the ToS (though to be fair you can do it anyway).
gollark: I suspect it's to annoy you by saying "haha yes buy nitro and you could use this but otherwise we will fill it with random nonsense".
gollark: There's really large line spacing for some reason and the people list at the side isn't very dense.
gollark: The UI is really space-inefficient.
