In contrast, Germany has participated in a record six Eurofinals. The Soviet Union, Greece, Czechoslovakia, Portugal, Italy, Denmark, and the Netherlands are the other European heavyweights who have claimed the title.

The 2020 UEFA European Championship was unique in hosting perspective. The tournament occurred across 11 European cities rather than in the customary one or two host nations. The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) took this action to commemorate the competition’s 60th anniversary. This is a one-time event because all of the games will once again be hosted by one nation (Germany in 2024 for Euro). In 1984, France became the final football team to win the UEFA European Championship in their own country.
