The '''1992 UEFA European Football Championship''' final tournament was hosted by [[Sweden]]. It was the ninth [[European Football Championship]], which is held every four years and supported by [[UEFA]]. The final tournament took place between [[10 June]] and [[26 June]] [[1992]].
Eight countries contested the final tournament. Seven countries had to qualify for the final stage as [[Sweden national football team|Sweden]] qualified automatically as hosts of the event. The [[USSR national football team|USSR]] qualified for the finals shortly before the break-up of the country, and took part in the tournament under the banner of the [[Commonwealth of Independent States|CIS]] before the former Soviet republics formed their own national teams after the competition. The [[CIS national football team|CIS]] team consisted of the following Soviet republics: [[Russian national football team|Russia]], [[Ukraine national football team|Ukraine]], [[Belarus national football team|Belarus]], [[Kazakhstan national football team|Kazakhstan]], [[Uzbekistan national football team|Uzbekistan]], [[Turkmenistan national football team|Turkmenistan]], [[Kyrgyzstan national football team|Kyrgyzstan]], [[Armenia national football team|Armenia]], [[Moldova national football team|Moldova]] and [[Tajikistan national football team|Tajikistan]]. Five out of 15 ex-republics were not members of CIS, and therefore did not send their players: [[Azerbaijan national football team|Azerbaijan]], [[Estonia national football team|Estonia]], [[Georgia national football team|Georgia]], [[Latvia national football team|Latvia]], and [[Lithuania national football team|Lithuania]].
Originally, [[Yugoslavia national football team|Yugoslavia]] qualified for the final stage, but due to the [[Yugoslav wars]], the team was disqualified and their qualifying group's runner-up [[Denmark national football team|Denmark]] took part in the championship. They shocked the continent by defeating first the defending European champions [[Holland national football team|Holland]] in the semi-finals, and then the reigning world champions [[German national football team|Germany]] for the title.
The official anthem of the tournament was ''More Than a Game'' performed by [[Towe Jaarnek]] and [[Peter Jöback]].
It was also the first major football competition in which the players had their names printed on their backs.
