UEFA European Championship current winner, Portugal have participated in seven UEFA EURO final tournaments (with the upcoming one, 8 EUROs). The 1st tournament was in 1984, and in five of seven Portugal reached the semi-finals.
Portugal reached the European Championship finals for two times. First time was in 2004, when they reached the final as hosts and lost to Greece. In the beginning of the tournament, Portugal was considered the favorite. However, they lost their first group stage match against Greece 1–2. Then, winning Russia and Spain (2 victories in host three group matches), they entered the round of 16. Here they played and won England with penalties. In the semi finals, they faced Netherlands, and also here a victory for Portugal (2–1). Reaching the final, however, they lost to Greece 1–0.
After 12 years, Portugal reached the EURO finals again. But this time they finished the it with victory over France 1-0. Portugal set 3 draws in three group matches, against Iceland, Austria and Hungary. Yet, these 3 points were enough to reach the round of 16. In round of 16, they won Croatia 1-0 in extra time. In quarter-finals, Portugal played another draw against Poland this time, reaching the semi-finals with penalties, where they won Wales 2-0. The final against France brought Portugal that much desired first championship title in major tournaments.
