How the Euros quiz is checked

Every question above was written by hand and verified before it went live.

Every Euros question here was checked twice before publication — once against the claim the question makes, and once against the wrong answers offered beside it. A question whose wrong options can be dismissed without knowing any football is not really a question, so those get rewritten or dropped rather than padded out. Anything that could not be confirmed was removed rather than guessed, which is why some sets are smaller than others. Spot something wrong and tell us — corrections from players are how the bank stays accurate.

About the Euros quiz

The European Championship is the World Cup's fiercest rival for prestige, and this free Euros quiz runs the length of its history — from the first tournament in 1960, won by the Soviet Union, to Spain's record-extending fourth title in Germany in 2024.

It's a competition that loves an underdog. Denmark's 1992 fairytale, called up from their holidays to replace banned Yugoslavia and winning the whole thing. Greece's astonishing defensive triumph in 2004. And it has its share of giants too — Spain's golden generation winning back-to-back in 2008 and 2012, Portugal finally landing a trophy in 2016, and Italy's penalty-shootout win at Wembley in 2021. The quiz also remembers the quirks: the golden goal that settled Euro 1996 and Euro 2000, the co-hosted tournaments, and Lamine Yamal lighting up 2024 as a teenager.

Questions cover hosts, winners, top scorers and famous knockouts — from easy openers (who won Euro 2024?) to hard ones about specific finals, formats and the trophy itself. Difficulty builds so every fan gets a proper test.

Each answer comes with a short explanation, so a miss still teaches you something. Play the free sample below, then the full Euros bank in the Ball IQ app.

The Euros set runs the full range — easy starters, a medium core, and hard questions a devoted fan has to think about.
