    The first-ever European Championship, then known as the European Nations’ Cup, was held in France in 1960. The Soviet Union emerged as the inaugural champions, defeating Yugoslavia 2–1 in the final.
    The European Championship is second in prestige to the World Cup among international football tournaments. The first final of the European Championship (then known as the European Nations’ Cup) took place in 1960 after two years of preliminary contests between 17 national football clubs.
    Though the first European Championship was held in 1960, the idea behind it is much older. It dates back to 1927, when the French Football Federation’s administrator Henri Delaunay first proposed a pan-European football tournament.
