UEFA European Championships - History
The tournament, also referred to as the Euros, is the premier men's international tournament of the UEFA confederation. It is held every 4 years, in the even numbered year between World Cups. The winners earn the Henri Delaunay Trophy named after the first General Secretary of UEFA who envisioned the tournament, but died 5 before it was first held in 1960. Despite being a newer tournament than the World Cup, more nations have won the Euros than have won the World Cup. Making it one of the most unpredictable and exciting tournaments in world football. Germany & Spain have won the most with three each, France and Italy have won two, and the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, the Netherlands, Denmark, Greece & Portugal have all won one.
