The UEFA European Championship (more commonly known as the ‘Euros’) is a football competition held every four years, contested between the national men’s teams that are members of UEFA. The 2020 tournament, which took place in 2021, saw Italy defeat England on penalties to win the title.
Of the 55 eligible countries, 24 qualified for the finals. The finals were then contested throughout a month of intense competition.
In total, there were 51 matches. The tournament was hosted at 12 cities around Europe instead of in one individual country as has been the story in the past.
