      Background | 
      
	  Portugal were announced as hosts for UEFA Euro 2004 on 12 October 
	  1999, in Aachen, Germany, beating Spain and the joint bid of Austria and 
	  Hungary.
  Spain had launched its bid on 8 November 1996, and 
	  Austria/Hungary seven months later.  |

      The Draw  | 
      
         The 16 teams qualifying for
        the 2004 European Championship finals competition were divided into
        four groups of four teams each for the first round of the final
        tournament by
        draw held on 30 November 2003, at the Pavilhao Atlantico, Lisboa, 
		Portugal.  Pursuant
        to the competition's regulations, UEFA seeded four teams as the
        heads of the four groups:  Portugal as the host
        nation, France as the reigning European champion and as the
        highest ranked team alongside Sweden and the Czech Republic, in UEFA's
        November 2003 European national team ranking table, which
        assigned each team a coefficient calculated on the basis of results achieved in the qualifying competitions for the 
		2002 World Cup
        and the 2004 European Championship (excluding the playoff
        matches).

                 Immediately after the draw, at 
		UEFA's request, the venues for the June 21 matches were switched.  
		Croatia vs. England was changed from Estádio
      Municipal
      de Coimbra to Estádio
      da Luz because of the latter's much larger capacity, and
  Switzerland vs. France was transferred from Estádio
      da Luz to Estádio
