Looking Forward to Euro 2008


By Omar Zahran

The UEFA European football championship for 2008, also known as the Euro, will take place in Austria and Switzerland. It will take place between June 7th and June 29th this year. This tournament takes place every four years. The winner in 2004 was Greece.
There will be sixteen teams in the championship. Austria and Switzerland automatically qualify because they are the hosts of the tournament. The remaining fourteen countries are Poland, Portugal, Italy, France, Greece, Turkey, the Czech Republic, Germany, Croatia, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Romania, and the Netherlands. Each of the sixteen teams will be split up into four groups. The teams in the groups will play each other for spots in the knockout round. Two teams from each group will enter the knockout round and have a chance to play in, and win, the Euro 2008 finals.
Group A will consist of Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Portugal, and Turkey. They will be the first group to play in the tournament. The first two teams playing are Switzerland and the Czech Republic. They will play in St. Jakob’s Park in Basel, Austria. This will be the place of the opening ceremony too.
Austria, Croatia, Germany, and Poland will make up Group B. This group will begin to play on June 8th, one day after the opening ceremony and Group A’s beginning. The qualifying rounds will be done for Group B by June 16th.
Group C is by far the strongest group in the tournament. It is made up of World Cup Finalists, Italy and France. They are accompanied by Romania and the Netherlands. Italy, France, and the Netherlands are all teams that are internationally known for excellence which make this the most competitive group in the whole tournament.
Finally, Group D is made up of 2004’s winner Greece, Sweden, Spain, and Russia. This group will begin playing on June 10th and finish their qualifying matches by June 18th.
This will be an especially exciting competition because it will have some of the most talented teams in the world. The winner of this tournament will play in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup. All of the winners from the continental cups will be able to participate in this cup.
