The EURO, whose official name is the European Football Championship, is held every four years. The goal of the tournament is to reach the best national team that performs under the auspices of UEFA. The first tournament was played back in 1960 under the name Cup of European Nations.

Henri Delaunay, Secretary General of the French Football Federation, was the first to put forward the idea of a pan-European football tournament. He did so in 1927, but at the time there was no football governing body to control Europe as a region and the idea struggled to gain support.

In 1954, representatives of the Italian, French and Belgian football federations gathered in Basel, Switzerland and created the Federation 1955 European football federations, and Delaunay is appointed the first general secretary.

He immediately began to seek support for ideas about a European tournament that would rival the World Cup, of which he was also one of the architects. Unfortunately, Henri Delaunay died in November 1955, never having seen his dream come true. His son, Pierre, initially took over as head of the organization on a temporary basis, before being appointed permanently the following year. He continued his father's vision and in 1958, three years after Delaunay's death, a tournament known as the UEFA European Nations Cup was founded. The European Championship, European Football Championship or UEFA European Football Championship as it is officially called is one of the biggest football tournaments played in Europe. The tournament is held every 4 years when the national teams meet in group games, semi-finals and finals. It is a competition with rich history and soul and you can make your EURO predictions today.
