About the UEFA Women's European Championship
The UEFA Women's European Championship, first held in 1984 as the "European Competition for Women's Football," is the top international tournament in European women's football. The inaugural edition was decided by a two-legged final with no fixed host — Sweden beat England on aggregate, settled on penalties.
Germany are the dominant force in the competition's history, winning 8 titles overall, including 6 in a row from 1995 to 2013. Norway (1987, 1993) and the Netherlands (2017) are the only other nations to have broken Germany's grip before England ended it for good, winning back-to-back titles in 2022 and 2025.
The tournament settled into a single-host, multi-team format from 1989, and into the regular 4-year cycle from 1997. It has grown steadily in scale, expanding to a 16-team format from the 2022 edition onward — the same tournament where England's win at Wembley drew a record crowd of 87,192, the largest attendance in the competition's history.
The 2022 final also marked the first year a reliable UEFA Player of the Tournament award is on record for this competition, won by England's Beth Mead.
