1996 European Championships (England)


How does it work?


England qualified as host but the other fifteen nations had to come through two years of qualification just to get this far. All sixteen teams were drawn into four groups of four who played a single round-robin and first and second progress. There are then single-leg quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final with golden goal extra time and penalties the possible deciders.
