The 2016 UEFA European Championship (also called the UEFA Euro 2016) was the 15th UEFA European Football Championship tournament and it was held in France from 10 June to 10 July 2016.[4] The tournament was the first to have 24 teams,[5] instead of the previous 16.

Portugal won the tournament over the hosts, France. They also qualified for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup, which took place in Russia.[6]

Bid process[change]

Four bids came before the deadline on 9 March 2009. France, Italy and Turkey put in single bids while Norway and Sweden put in a joint bid.[7] Norway and Sweden eventually withdrew their bid in December 2009.[8]

The host was selected on 28 May 2010.[9]
