The UEFA European Championship Trivia Questions

While most editions are in even years, Euro 2020 was postponed to 2021 due to COVID-19. Thus it was held in an odd-numbered year, breaking the pattern.

Greece defeated Portugal in the final, becoming one of the biggest underdog victories in sports history. The odds were indeed 100-to-1 before the tournament.

Spain defeated Germany in 2008 and Italy in 2012. They are the only nation to win consecutive European titles.

The inaugural tournament took place in France in 1960, won by the Soviet Union. It was originally called the European Nations' Cup.

The trophy is named after Henri Delaunay, the first UEFA general secretary. Platini was a player and later UEFA president, but the trophy predates him.

Only four teams (Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, France) competed in the final tournament in 1960. The field expanded to 16 teams in 1996.

Only Spain achieved back-to-back wins (2008 and 2012). No other nation has won consecutive tournaments, so this claim of three occasions is false.

From 1960 to 1964, the tournament was officially named the European Nations' Cup before being renamed the UEFA European Championship in 1968.
