Spain at the UEFA European Championship
The UEFA European Championship is the main football competition of the men's national teams governed by UEFA. Held every four years since 1960, in the even-numbered year between World Cup tournaments, it was originally called the UEFA European Nations' Cup, changing to the current name in 1968. Starting with the 1996 tournament, specific championships are often referred to in the form "UEFA Euro ”. Prior to entering the tournament, all teams other than the host nations compete in a qualifying process.
Spain have participated in twelve European Championships, from which they won four titles. Spain became European champions as hosts in 1964, in 2008 in Austria and Switzerland, in 2012 in Poland and Ukraine, and in 2024 in Germany.
They are currently the only team with four titles, the only side to win two consecutive editions and the only side to ever win all seven matches in a single tournament. They also set a new record of 15 goals scored in a single European Championship.
