The UEFA European Championship is the main football competition of the men's national teams governed by UEFA (the Union of European Football Associations). 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 (year)”. Prior to entering the tournament, all teams other than the host nations (which qualify automatically) compete in a qualifying process.
Spain have participated in eleven European Championships (with an upcoming twelfth appearance in 2024), from which they won three titles. Spain became European champions as hosts in 1964, in 2008 in Austria and Switzerland, and in 2012 in Poland and Ukraine. They are currently the only team to win two consecutive editions.
