Previous hosts of the European Championships

The first ever European Championship was held in France back in 1960. The final was held at the Parc des Princes in Paris, with the Soviet Union beating Yugoslavia 2-1 after extra-time. France lost the third-place play-off to Czechoslovakia.

The most recent European Championship was delayed from 2020 until 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament was hosted by 11 countries in total, with both semi-finals and the final held at England’s national team stadium Wembley.
