In 2007 Janssen was called up by Jong Oranje coach Foppe de Haan to be part of his squad for the 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship where they qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics. He scored his first and only goal for Jong Oranje to ensure that they won their final warm-up match against Poland before the competition.[1] At the 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, Janssen came on as a substitute and scored both penalties he took during the series (1–1, 13–12 after 32 penalty kicks) in the semi-finals against England. The Dutch went on to retain their 2006 title by beating Serbia 4–1 in the final.
