According to CCTV5 program list (January 27, 2024), the European Cup is the highest level national team event in European football. It is held every four years. This year is the 17th European Cup and the 60th anniversary of the European Cup. The current European Cup was postponed from 2020 to 2021 due to the new epidemic, but the name of "2020 European Cup" still remains. What are the characteristics of the competition system and rules of this European Cup? Let's take a look.

First of all, this European Cup was held in 12 European cities without a single host country, which is the first time in the history of the European Cup. The 12 cities are Amsterdam, Baku, Rome, Bucharest, Copenhagen, Glasgow, London, Munich, St. Petersburg, Seville, Budapest and Dublin. The semi-finals and finals will be held at Wembley Stadium in London. This arrangement aims to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the European Cup and is also a promotion and display of European football.

Secondly, there are 24 teams participating in this European Cup, which are divided into 6 groups with 4 teams in each group. The group match adopts the single round robin system. Each team plays three games, winning three points, drawing one point and losing zero point. After the group game, the first two teams of each group and the third team of the four best teams will be 16 teams in total and will be promoted to the knockout stage. In the knockout phase, a single knockout competition system is adopted, including the eighth final, quarter final, semi-final and final. If the score is the same within 90 minutes, a 30 minute overtime match will be held. If the overtime match is still undecided, a penalty shoot out will be held.

Finally, the ranking rules of this European Cup have some special points that need attention. If there are two or more teams with the same points in the group stage, the teams that qualify will be determined in the following order: 1. The ranking of the winning/losing relationship between each other; 2. The goal difference ranking of each other; 3. Teams that have scored many goals away from home; 4. Teams with more goal difference in group matches; 5. Teams with more goals in group matches; 6. In addition, according to the performance of the first five seasons, the team with higher coefficient scores will be promoted. The most special case is that if two teams with the same points and goals meet in the last round of the group game, when the two teams still cannot divide the result, a penalty shoot out will be held to decide the team to be promoted. When comparing the ranking of the third place among different groups, the teams that qualify will be determined in the following order: points>goal difference>goal>fair play score>UEFA ranking.

The schedule of this European Cup has been announced. The competition will start on June 12 and end on July 12, lasting one month. The European Cup is a feast for football fans and also a competition for honor for national teams. Let's look forward to this wonderful game.
