According to CCTV5 program list (December 30, 2023), the European Cup is a grand event of European football, which is held every four years and attracts hundreds of millions of fans around the world. However, there will be no European Cup in 2023. Why? UEFA explained the principles and historical changes of the European Cup on its official website. Let's take a look.

The principle of holding the European Cup is to stagger the World Cup for two years according to the schedule of FIFA, so as to avoid the conflict and impact of the two major events. Therefore, the first European Cup was held in 1960, and then it was held every four years. Until 2020, it has been held for 15 times. However, the European Cup in 2020 was postponed to 2021 due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, which is the first delay in the history of the European Cup. In order to maintain the holding cycle and regularity of the European Cup, UEFA decided to postpone the European Cup originally scheduled to be held in 2024 to 2025, so that the principle of two years' stagger between the European Cup and the World Cup can be restored. Therefore, there will be no European Cup in 2023, but it will be held in 2025, which is a reasonable adjustment made by UEFA to cope with the impact of the epidemic.

The historical changes of the European Cup are closely related to the development of European football. From the original four teams to the current 24 teams, from a single host to multiple co hosts, from simple knockout matches to complex group matches and play offs, the scale and form of the European Cup have changed greatly, but the spirit and charm of the European Cup remain unchanged, That is to show the level and style of European football, stimulate the passion and honor of European football, and promote the exchange and development of European football.
