The Euro 2008 football championships will be hosted by Austria and Switzerland, from 7 to 29 June 2008. Other joint bids to host the competition have also succeeded, including Belgium and the Netherlands hosting UEFA Euro 2000, and the Poland and Ukraine 2012 competition.

Sixteen of Europe’s best football teams will play in the much-awaited 2008 tournament, and football fans hungry for Euro 2008 tickets will be clamouring to see them all. Austria and Switzerland automatically qualify as hosts of the tournament, with Austria making its first ever appearance in the contest. The 14 other teams will have to qualify through the rounds which began in the summer of 2006. The Euro 2008 winners represent UEFA at the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup.

The two countries’ connectivity and small size means that traveling to matches will be easy, and finding Euro 2008 tickets will be hard, which is why you must act quickly to secure yourself some of these scarce passes. European Championships have always been thrilling, with many memorable incidents and glittering stars taking part over the years. Who can forget the night Denmark won the tournament with a last gasp penalty save from Peter Schmeichel which sent the Danes into the final, where they beat Germany 2-0? Or the memorable night when the Republic of Ireland beat England 1-0 with a Ray Houghton goal? The Championships which towers above all else, though, is surely the 1984, France-hosted tournament, where Jean Michel Platini scored no less than 9 goals in the 5 games played, leading the French to European footballing supremacy with his amazing gift.

These types of memories inspire people to travel to the Championships in huge numbers, many without Euro Championships tickets, and the carnival which unfolds in the streets can be a true sight to behold. Make sure you have your Euro 2008 tickets before you set off for Austria and Switzerland, and you will be all set for a banging few days in Europe for the time of your life.
