European football competition takes place in regular intervals,
every four years. Originally, this competition was called the UEFA European
Nations Cup, after two two competitions, 1960. and 1964. it was renamed into UEFA European
Championship. The participants of the tournament are the teams that go
through a qualifying phase of the competition. In the first five championships

tournament.
Since 1980. eight teams compete in the finals, and since
1996. 16 national teams appearances on
