From Free net encyclopedia

Image:Euro2000logo.jpg The 2000 UEFA European Championship, or Euro 2000, was the 11th edition of the UEFA European Championship, a competition between the national football teams of Europe held every four years and organised by UEFA, football's governing body in Europe.

The finals of Euro 2000 were co-hosted (the first time this happened) by Belgium and the Netherlands between June 10 and July 2, 2000. The final tournament was contested by 16 nations. With the exception of the national teams of the hosts, Belgium and the Netherlands, the finalists had to go through a qualifying round to reach the final stage.

Belgium, however had a surprise exit from the tournament.

The Euro 2000 winner was France, who beat Italy 2-1 in the final after a golden goal by France's David Trézéguet.
