The UEFA European Championship (commonly known as the UEFA European Football Championship and unofficially known as the Euro) is a preliminary football competition, in which the men's national football teams of the European Football Association (UEFA) members compete. The winning team in this competition won the title of European Champion.

When was the first European Championship?

The tournament has been held every four years since 1960, every two years between the World Cups. It was originally known as the European Nations Cup but was renamed in 1986.

The competition has been referred to as the UEFA Euro in almost all subsequent events since 1998; This format has since been applied responsibly to previous sessions.

Prior to participating in the competition, all teams except the host country (those who qualify automatically) participate in the qualifying round. Until 2016, the winning team in the competition would automatically qualify for the FIFA Confederations Cup, but that was not mandatory.

Who has won the most Euro Cups?

Germany and Spain have won the Euro Cup three times in a row.

How many teams have won the European Cup?

A total of 10 national teams have won 15 European Championships so far: Germany and Spain three, France and Italy two each, and the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, the Netherlands, Denmark, Greece, and Portugal one each.

To date, Spain is the only team in the history of this competition to have won the title twice in a row; After winning the title in 2006, Spain was able to win the title again in 2012.

It is the second most popular football tournament in the world after the FIFA World Cup; the 2012 final was watched by nearly three million spectators worldwide.
