With the Starblaydia Under-21s, Starblaydia have one of the top Under-21 World Cup youth systems in the World, and this has been the case for over thirty years, as well as having been placed in the top-three finishing positions of six consecutive Championships from U21WC11 to U21WC16.

World Champions in Under-21 World Cup 14 immediately followed a Second-Place in U21WC13, both under the managership of Simeone Di Bradini. World Cup 15 also saw them take second place. They have been Third-Placed in five seperate occasions in the tournament hosted perennially by Total n Utter Insanity. Under-21 World Cup 5, 7, 11, 12 and 16 have seen Starblaydia take the Bronze Medals. As of Under-21 World Cup 14, they were seeded as the best team in the World for the first time, taking the title over high-scoring complete unknowns Nedalia in the Final.

The Under-21s is the main proving ground for would-be International Players and seeing their team gives us an exciting insight into Starblaydi teams of the future.

Managers

Guylain N'Dumbu-Nsungu first managed the Under-21 side, before going on to manage the senior side. While in control of the old men, he sent various assistants to allow him to manage the Under-21s 'remotely'. After leaving the full Starblaydia job by mutual consent, he also left the Under-21 Managership. Simeone Di Bradini, assisted by Nikola Lazerevski, Managed the Under-21 side to their two consecutive Final appearances, with Nikola going on to assist Rikaard Van Honjiik in managing the Starblaydi national side. Khim Azanulbizarn took over as manager for Under-21 World Cup 15 onwards. After a long stint he went on to take control of the senior side for World Cup 26 onwards while later double-World Cup Winner Jaime Oberlander took control of the team straight after his World Cup 28 win.

Kit

Home

Simeone Di Bradini while playing for the Under-21s in U21WC3
Starblaydia's traditional Home kit is an all-White strip with Purple trim, this basic design has never varied in around a century of competition.

Away

The Away Kit varies from Championship to Championship, though usually is an inverse of the Home kit with predominant Purple trimmed with White. Bronze and Black was used after Starblaydia's fourth 3rd-Place finish in U21WC12, promoting the Kit Desginer to issue Bronze-coloured away kits for the 13th Championship. After finishing second to Fmjpheonix in U21WC13, the Away kit became All-Purple with Silver Trim.

Record Holders

The current record for number of Under-21 Caps is shared between Gbenga "D.J." Ogunniya and Nunzio Gre, both spent time as the Captain of the side and both emerged to the senior side with 23 Under-21 Caps. Zhorin Tumunzahar (a Dwarf) on the other hand, is easily the all-time leading Under-21 goal-scorer with 18 Goals, which he netted in just 18 magical appearances.
