European Championship (commonly referred to as the Euro) is a football tournament contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA). The tournament includes a qualification phase and a final tournament.
1. Qualification Phase:
The qualification phase consists of a series of matches played by national teams to determine which teams will advance to the final tournament.
National teams are divided into several groups, and each group plays a series of matches against the other teams in their group.
Teams earn points based on the results of these matches, with wins earning 3 points, draws earning 1 point, and losses earning 0 points.
The group winners, as well as some of the bestperforming runnersup, qualify directly for the final tournament.
2. Final Tournament:
The final tournament features the teams that have successfully qualified through the qualification phase.
The teams are drawn into groups, and each team plays a roundrobin series of matches against the other teams in their group.
Again, teams earn points based on the results of these matches, using the same point system as the qualification phase.
The top teams from each group, as well as some of the bestperforming runnerup teams, advance to the knockout stage of the tournament.
In conclusion, the European Championship (Euro) utilizes a combination of group stage matches, a pointbased scoring system, and knockout rounds to determine the eventual champion.
