Euro 2020: How to Abbreviate the European Championship
The abbreviation for the European Championship, commonly known as the UEFA European Football Championship or simply the Euro, is "Euro." This abbreviation is used internationally and is recognized by football fans worldwide.
For the latest edition of the tournament, which was originally scheduled for 2020 but postponed to 2021 due to the COVID19 pandemic, it is officially referred to as "UEFA Euro 2020." Despite the year in its name, it is still commonly abbreviated as "Euro 2020."
The decision to keep the original name was made to honor the tradition of referring to this tournament with the same name regardless of the actual year it took place. This approach maintains consistency and allows fans to easily recognize and refer to the tournament regardless of the specific year.
It's worth noting that the next edition of the European Championship, scheduled to take place in 2024, will be named "UEFA Euro 2024." Similarly, it will be commonly abbreviated as "Euro 2024."
In summary, the English abbreviation for the European Championship, including the upcoming tournaments in 2020 and 2024, is "Euro." Whether it is officially named Euro 2020 or Euro 2024, the abbreviation remains the same.
