    NAME: _________________________ A Numeracy and Literacy based workbook aimed at Upper KS2 Primary Level students. THE EUROS The UEFA European Championships (The Euros) is the main football competition contested by national teams in Europe. It has been held every four years since 1960. The host(s) nations qualify automatically, whilst all other teams gain entry by qualifying from groups drawn before the tournament commences. The 14 European Championships tournaments to date have been won by nine different national teams, with Germany and Spain winning three times each. France has won twice, whilst the Soviet Union, Italy, Netherlands, Denmark, Greece and Czechoslovakia have each won once. The Henri Delaunay Trophy is awarded to the tournament winners. It is named in honour of Henri Delaunay, the first General Secretary of UEFA, who is credited with conceiving of the idea of a European championship competition. He died five years prior to the first tournament in 1960. The most recent championship, co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine in 2012, was won by Spain, who beat Italy 4–0 at the final in Kiev. The next European Championship will be hosted in France.
