In summary, the team that wins the Final match of the UEFA European Championship is declared the overall winner of the tournament. The path to victory involves navigating through the group stage, knockout stage, and ultimately triumphing in the Final match.
The Final is the last match of the tournament, where two teams compete for the championship title. The winner of the Final match is crowned the UEFA European Championship winner.
The knockout stage consists of the Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and the Final. The winners of the Quarterfinal matches advance to the Semifinals, and the winners of the Semifinals proceed to the Final.
In the UEFA European Championship, the winner is determined through a series of matches following a specific format:
The tournament starts with the group stage, where 24 teams are divided into six groups of four teams each. Each team plays against the other three teams in their group. A win earns a team 3 points, a draw earns 1 point, and a loss earns 0 points. The top two teams from each group, along with the four best thirdplaced teams, advance to the knockout stage.
Once the knockout stage begins, teams compete in singleelimination matches. If a match is tied at the end of regulation time, it goes into extra time (two periods of 15 minutes each). If the score is still level after extra time, the match is decided by a penalty shootout.
