Goal brings you all you need to know about the special European Championship, which will be staged across the continent in three years time

The European Championship enters new territory in 2020 with the tournament taking place in a number of countries across the continent.

Governing body UEFA has decided to stage "a party all over Europe" to mark 60 years since the inaugural tournament and, for the second time in history, it will feature 24 teams.

With the competition being held in a variety of countries, there is no automatic qualifier, and each of UEFA's member nations will have to earn their place at the finals.
