European Football Championship

The UEFA European Championship is the main national football competition of the UEFA nations. Held every four years since 1960, it was originally called the European Nations Cup, changing to the name European Football Championship in 1968.

Until 1976 only four teams entered the final tournament. From 1980 eight teams competed and from 1996 sixteen teams played in the tournament. The competing teams are chosen by a series of qualifying games: in 1960 and 1964 through home and away play-offs; from 1968 through qualifying leagues and also play-off games. The host country/countries qualifies automatically.

The Soviet Union won the inaugural competition; Germany triumphed three times, twice as West Germany. France is the only other team to win the tournament more than once.
