EURO2008

UEFA EURO 2008™ Austria-Switzerland (2008.6.7-2008.6.29)
2008 UEFA European Football Championship

The 2008 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2008, was the 13th UEFA European Football Championship, a quadrennial football tournament contested by European nations. The tournament, which was hosted by Austria and Switzerland, began on 7 June 2008, and concluded with the final at Ernst Happel Stadion in Vienna on 29 June 2008. The second jointly-hosted edition in the competition's history, the tournament was eventually won by Spain, defeating Germany 1–0 in the final; becoming only the second nation to win all their group stage fixtures and win the European Championship itself—a milestone also achieved by France in 1984. Spain were also the first team since Germany in 1996 to win the tournament undefeated.

Greece were the defending champions going into the tournament, having won UEFA Euro 2004, the previous edition of the competition. However, they recorded amongst the worst finishes in Euro 2008, collecting the least amount of prize money and gaining no points in their only three group fixtures. Throughout 31 matches, the participating nations totalled 77 goals, the same as the previous tournament. Austria and Switzerland automatically qualified as hosts; the remaining 14 teams were determined through qualifying matches, which began in August 2006. As European champions, Spain earned the right to compete for the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup in South Africa.[1]

2008年欧洲杯 / 2008年欧洲足球锦标赛

2008年欧洲足球锦标赛（2008 UEFA European Football Championship，简称Euro 2008）是第十三届欧洲国家杯，于2008年6月7日至29日在奥地利及瑞士举行，本届赛事是继2000年欧洲国家杯后第二次由两个国家共同举办。共有16支足球队参加了决赛周赛事，西班牙在决赛以1-0击败德国夺得冠军。
除主办国奥地利及瑞士外，其余球队必须通过外围赛来争夺参加14个决赛周席位。外围赛于2006年8月开始至2007年11月结束，最大冷门当属英格兰未能出线，导致传统足球强国的英国的全部四支球队自1994年世界杯后第一次全部缺席世界大赛。
冠军队伍西班牙将会代表欧洲出席于南非举行的2009年洲际国家杯。
