History of the euro championship

European cup history (EURO) actually stems from the idea of ​​the Secretary of the French Football Federation (FFF) Henri Delaunay in the late decades of the 1920s. At that time, Delaunay see see any imbalance between the two poles, in which Latin American countries are too strong for Europe. Uruguay won the Olympic gold medal in 1924 and 1928. In fact, Uruguay was appointed to host the World Cup I in 1930 in honor of his achievement.
Delauney idea is actually quite simple. Delauney want to increase the frequency of matches between the countries of Europe by holding a competition among nations. Unfortunately, the idea Delauney ignored by UEFA (Union of European soccer). UEFA European Club Championships held instead that became known as the Champions Cup, UEFA Cup and Cup Winners' Cup began in 1954.
This makes the Delauney disappointed, and fell ill and died in November 1955. The death of one of the elders of the European football is very surprising range of UEFA officials. UEFA congress in 1957, Delauney old idea that was finally approved. Congress also decided to host France's first European Cup in 1960 as a form of homage to the Delauney. At this event, the Soviet Union (now Russia) who won after the grounding of Yugoslavia with a score of 2-1 in overtime.
Since then, every four years UEFA staged event 'Mini World Cup' this. The development of the grand event that continues to happen.
