According to CCTV5 program list (January 8, 2024), the rules for qualifying for the Euro 2024 qualifiers have recently caused some controversy. Some fans and experts believe that the number of teams participating in the final stage of the Euro 2024 should be increased to provide more countries and regions with opportunities to show themselves, and also increase the viewing and competitiveness of the game. Others believe that the number of teams participating in the final stage of the European Cup is enough, and further increase will reduce the quality and level of the game, and will also increase the burden and injury risk of players.

The European Cup is the highest honor of European football and one of the world football events. It is held every four years and attracts hundreds of millions of fans around the world. The number of teams participating in the final stage of the European Cup has gradually increased from the initial 4 to 16, and now to 24. This change not only reflects the development and growth of European football, but also reflects the inclusiveness and diversity of European football.

However, with the continuous expansion of European football, some fans and experts believe that the number of teams participating in the final stage of the European Cup is not enough. They hope to see more countries and regions participate in the event, especially some traditional football powers, such as the Netherlands, Italy, Greece, and some emerging football forces, such as Iceland Wales, Northern Macedonia, etc. They believe that this will make the European Cup more exciting and intense, and also allow more fans to feel the charm and fun of football.

However, there are also some people who hold the opposite view. They believe that the number of teams participating in the final stage of the European Cup is enough, and further increase will lead to some problems and difficulties. First of all, increasing the number of participating teams will reduce the difficulty and significance of the preliminary match, make the match arrangement in the final stage more complex and crowded, bring pressure on the adjustment and recovery of players and coaches, and increase the risk of injury and illness of players. Secondly, increasing the number of teams participating in the competition will reduce the quality and level of the competition in the final stage, and will also make some matches of great disparity between strength and weakness appear, affecting the viewing and fairness of the game.

There is no standard answer to whether the number of teams participating in the European Cup final should increase. Different people have different views and reasons. As the sponsor of the European Cup, UEFA needs to make reasonable and appropriate decisions on the basis of considering the interests and opinions of all parties to ensure the smooth progress of the European Cup and provide a wonderful football feast for fans around the world. The changes in the number of teams participating in the European Cup finals are as follows:

particular year Number of participating teams
1960-1976 four
1980-1992 eight
1996-2012 sixteen
2016-2024 twenty-four
