Background |
The thirteenth European Championship Finals were awarded to
Austria~Switzerland on
12 December 2002 at the UEFA Executive Committee meeting in Genève.
In June 2002, there were seven
initial representations from twelve countries bidding for the right to
host the Tournament. However, on the day of voting, UEFA shortened that list to
four following a technical evaluation based on capability. The
joint bids from Bosnia & Herzegovina~Croatia, Scotland~Republic of
Ireland, and a single bid from Russia, were the countries eliminated.
The Austria~Switzerland bid won the
only round of voting ahead of bids from Hungary, Greece~Hungary and
Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway & Sweden).
