The 1988 UEFA European Football Championship (Euro 88) final tournament was held in West Germany. It was the eighth European Football Championship, which is held every four years and supported by UEFA. The final tournament took place between June 10 and June 25, 1988.
At the time, only eight countries could dispute the final tournament. Seven countries had to qualify for the final stage. West Germany qualified automatically as hosts of the event. The holders, France, failed to qualify. Remarkably not one player was sent off during the tournament. The tournament eventually crowned Netherlands as European champions for the first, and so far only time.
Final: Netherlands - USSR 2 - 0
