History of European Championships

European Cup itself began with the birth of the French Football Federation's concerns or the Secretary of the Henry Delaunay FFF. This happens at the end of the decade of 1920s, which at the time, Delaunay observed that there is a very deep gap between the power of football in the two poles. At that time, the power of football that originated from Latin American countries, are considered to have the dominance that is greater than the strength of European football.

It is characterized by the success of the Uruguay won two consecutive gold medals in the implementation of the summer Olympics. The second medal was earned at the Olympic Games in 1924 and 1928. And in recognition of his accomplishments that were achieved by Uruguay, the country was chosen as the organizer of the first World Cup held in 1930. This appointment is a form of homage to the world over celebrate the achievements of the country in the arena of world football.

The idea put forward by Henry Delauney is basically very simple. In his idea, Delauney want to increase the frequency of matches between countries in the European region. This can be done by holding a soccer championship, followed by countries in the blue continent. However, the simple idea that has received considerable opposition from various parties hard. One of them, indicated when the European football federation or UEFA do not follow the suggestion of Henry Delauney.

In fact, UEFA actually increase the frequency of matches between clubs in Europe. This is done by making some inter-club championship of Europe that became the forerunner of the birth of several prestigious soccer championship event on the continent. For example, the event Champion Cup, UEFA Cup and Cup Winners since 1954. The attitude of this UEFA make Delauney disappointment, which then made him fall ill until his death in November 1955. The death figures Delauney caliber football is making a lot of European soccer activists were surprised. This was later changed the view of some UEFA officials, who see that the ideas presented by Delauney quite interesting and the subject in the ranks of UEFA officials.

Finally, at the UEFA Congress in 1957, the idea that it had been made Delauney approval. And in tribute to Delauney, France finally appointed as the first host organization of the European Cup in 1960. In the operation of the European Cup for the first time, which at that time Russia was still using the name of the Soviet Union had emerged as the champion.

Of the 12 countries that joined in the name of it, there are two big names in world football scene, namely the UK and Italy who tried his luck in the championship.

Although the number of participants has increased significantly, but in practice there is no difference to the operation of the European Cup for the first time. Where only four countries are entitled to qualify for entry into the semi-final and final rounds. On this second championship, the host made it out to be the king of Spain in Europe by defeating the defending champion of the Soviet Union by a score of 2-1, the same as the score on the first European Cup final in France.

Ie starting from the quarter-finals, to enter the final phase. Format such as this, which until now used in every implementation of the European Cup.
