History

Saarland played their first under-18 match on 31 March 1953 in the 1953 FIFA Youth Tournament Under-18 against Spain, which finished as a 0–5 loss. They finished the tournament tied in 13th place, after they refused to play extra time in their match against Switzerland.[1] They also finished in 13th place the following year, winning 3–0 against France for the team's best ever result.[2] The following two editions only featured a group stage, with Saarland finishing third out of four teams in their group on both occasions.[3][4] Their last match in the 1956 tournament was a 2–2 draw with Belgium on 1 April. The team played no further matches as the Saar Protectorate became a part of West Germany at the start of 1957.
