The 1992 UEFA European Football Championship final tournament was hosted by Sweden, who beat Spain to host the event. Spain was at a disadvantage as they had already hosted the EXPO 1992 and the 1992 Summer Olympic Games.[1] It was the ninth European Football Championship, which is held every four years and supported by UEFA. The final tournament took place between 10 and 26 June 1992.
Originally, Yugoslavia qualified for the final stage, but due to the Yugoslav wars, the team was disqualified and their qualifying group's runner-up Denmark took part in the championship. They shocked the continent when Peter Schmeichel saved Van Basten's penalty in the shoot-out, thus defeating the first defending European champions the Netherlands in the semi-finals, and then the reigning world champions Germany for the title.
The CIS national football team represented the Commonwealth of Independent States before the former replaced for Soviet Union.
