List of Euro Winners from 1960 

Every team that has won the UEFA European Championship 

What is the biggest win in Euro history? 

The biggest winning margin seen in Euro history is five goals, and there have been five instances of this happening in the history of the tournament. 

The 1984 Group Stage saw two five-goal winning margins occur. France were the host nation that year, and after narrowly winning their opening game 1-0 against Denmark, Les Bleus then went on to win 5-0 against Belgium, which included a Michel Platini hat trick. 

On the same day that France recorded that result, Demark hit Yugoslavia for five in a 5-0 victory. The Danes were two up inside sixteen minutes but ramped up the scoreline midway through the second half following a Frank Arnesen penalty. One 5-0 win is a somewhat rare occurrence, but two on the same day, what would the football odds have been on that happening? 

Yugoslavia also happened to appear on this list of five goal-winning margins again, and this time, it was the Netherlands who managed to put six past them in a 6-1 win for the Dutch. A Patrick Kluivert hat trick in the Euro 2000 quarter-finals sent Yugoslavia crashing out of the competition. 

The final two mentions go to Sweden and Spain. Sweden triumphed 5-0 over Bulgaria at Euro 2004 in the Group Stage, while Spain, who appear on the Euro winners list several times, defeated Slovakia 5-0 in the Euro 2020 Group Stage. 

Has England won the Euros before? 

England does appear on the list of Euro Cup winners, but unfortunately, only as the sole host nation in 1996 and as runners-up at Euro 2020. England often head into European Championships as one of the favourites and have come close but never managed to lift the trophy. The closest they’ve come is at Euro 2020, when they were beaten on penalties in the final, and this showing, combined with their World Cup campaign in Qatar, will see them one of the favourites where 2024 Euro betting odds are concerned. 

Has any team won the Euro and World Cup? 

There are currently only four national sides that have achieved the feat of winning back-to-back Euros and World Cups. 

West Germany was the first to achieve the feat in the 1972 & 1974 tournaments. Gerd Muller was instrumental with his goals, helping West Germany to success. 

It took a while, but France won the World Cup in 1998 on home soil before going on to win the Euros in 2000. Les Bleus were blessed with a star-studded side featuring the likes of Zinedine Zidance. 

Between the years of 2001 and 2009, Germany Women were the best Women’s team around, amassing three European championship successes and back-to-back World Cup trophies. Backing them to win the Euros at this time was akin to someone having a bet on the Europa League and choosing Seville in their pomp. 

Like Germany Women, Spain dominated men’s international football and did so between 2008 and 2012. The Spain side, which was full of Barcelona’s iconic La Masia graduates, won the Euros in 2008 and 2012, with World Cup success sandwiched between those triumphs in 2010. Interestingly, in the same period, Barcelona were a dominant power, which was reflected by their Champions League odds at the time, which they won twice between 2008 and 2012. 

Which country will host 2024 Euro? 

Euro 2024 will be hosted by Germany, who have been the host nation on one previous occasion and have appeared on the Euro winners list three times. As the host nation, many will expect them to do well in the competition, but England and France are likely to start as favourites. 

The tournament will get underway on June 14 and run through ‘til July 14, with a total of twenty-four nations taking part. There will be ten stadiums in use during Euro 2024, and they are spread across ten cities within Germany. The final will take place at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on July 14 at 21:00 local time. Italy will begin the tournament as the defending champions.
