The Henri Delaunay Cup is the
name of the trophy of the
European Championship (Europa
Football Championship) and was
named in honor of the Frenchman
Henri Delaunay, the ﬁrst general
secretary of UEFA.
In 1958, the ﬁrst European Nations
Cup (the predecessor of the
European Cup) qualifying
tournament began. The trophy
was designed and made by
Arthus-Bertrand from Paris in
1960. It is engraved with the
French wordings “UEFA European
Football Championship" and
"Henri Delaunay Cup“ in smaller
capital. In 2006, UEFA forged a
brand-new trophy dedicated for
the UEFA European
Championship. The body recast
the Henri Delaunay Cup because
the original trophy was previously
damaged during the celebration
of France’s victory in UEFA Euro
2000.

GROUP A IN- DEPTH
*Last update:15 February 2024
The overall strength of Group A, where the host Germany is located, is
relatively balanced. Scotland, Hungary, and Switzerland can all be
considered teams whose strength surpasses their fame. Among them,
Hungary even surpassed Serbia to top the group standings in the
qualiﬁers and advance to the main tournament. Scotland and
Switzerland should not be underestimated, as both demonstrated
impressive abilities during the qualiﬁers. In terms of overall paper
strength, Germany emerges as the strongest in this group stage.
However, there is still a slight gap from its peak dominance in the past,
and it no longer surpasses other teams as it did in previous years.

GROUP B IN- DEPTH
On the upcoming 'Deadly Group Match', the previous semifinalist, Spain,
will face the reigning champions, Italy, in a revenge match to avenge
their defeat. Spain has garnered a stronger lineup compared to three
years ago but the defending champion, Italy is also expected to perform
remarkably well in this tournament. On the other hand, Croatia, known
for its miraculous comebacks is also uncertain. The teams ranked from
8th to 10th in the recent FIFA will be in Group B, marking the final match
of Madrid's golden team led by Luka Modrić. Albania, who topped their
group in the qualifiers ahead of the likes of Czech Republic and Poland,
also finds themselves in the Deadly Group, where they must fight even
harder. Upon first look, Spain and Italy seem to hold the upper hand but
only the actual tournament will unveil the truth.

GROUP F IN- DEPTH
Portugal, boasting Cristiano Ronaldo in their lineup, is capable to
compete with top teams from technical view. However, the chemistry
among the stars continues to get in the way during major tournaments
where each player tends to each of his own rather than as a cohesive
unit. This is why Portugal has yet to bring back their glory days from
winning Euro 2016. As for the other teams, the Czech Republic stands
out while Turkey and Georgia, making their debut in the European
Championship ﬁnals, might struggle to do so in this group.
