The UEFA European Championship, commonly known as the Euro, is a football tournament for national teams. With its widespread appeal, the Euro is viewed by many as only second to the FIFA World Cup in terms of global popularity.


History:

Instituted in 1960, the tournament initially bore the name European Nations' Cup, with only four teams competing. Its format and reputation have significantly evolved, mirroring the growing love for the sport.


Journey to the Finals:

The road to the Euro finals stretches over a span of a couple of years, marked by intense qualifying matches. The finals tournament features 24 top teams, placed into six groups. The two leading teams from each group, as well as four top third-placed teams, continue forward to the knockout stages, culminating in the Euro Cup final.

As the 2024 hosts, Germany has secured an automatic spot in the tournament. The qualification battles for the remaining 23 spots are in full swing, and the anticipation is high.

Football fans should mark their calendars for Saturday, 2 December, when the tournament draw unfolds in Hamburg.

The final is set for Sunday, 14 July 2024, at the Berlin's Olympiastadion.
