UEFA Euro 2016
The 2016 UEFA European Championship, commonly referred to as Euro 2016, will be the 15th European Championship for men's national football teams organised by UEFA. It is scheduled to be held in France from 10 June to 10 July 2016.
For the first time, the European Championship final tournament will be contested by 24 teams, having been expanded from the 16-team format that had been used since 1996.Under this new format, the finalists will contest a group stage consisting of six groups of four teams, followed by a knockout stage including three rounds and the final. As hosts, France have automatically qualified for the final tournament, while the other 53 national teams will compete in a qualifying competition, running from September 2014 to November 2015, to secure the remaining 23 places. Among these teams are back-to-back defending champions Spain, and for the first time since their affiliation with UEFA, Gibraltar.
France was chosen as the host on 28 May 2010, after a bidding process in which they beat Italy and Turkey for the right to host the 2016 finals.The matches will be played in ten stadia in nine cities: Bordeaux, Lens, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nice, Paris, St-Etienne, and Toulouse. It will be the third time that France hosts the tournament, after the inaugural tournament in 1960 and the 1984 finals. The French team have won the European Championship two times: in 1984 and 2000.
The winners will earn the right to participate in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup hosted by Russia. If Germany or Russia win, however, the runner up will participate as Germany have already qualified due to winning the 2014 FIFA World Cup, and Russia have qualified as hosts.

Portugal stunned by Albania, Germany prove too strong for Scotland
Portugal slumped to an embarrassing defeat at home to Albania in their opening Euro 2016 qualifier, while Germany needed two goals from Thomas Muller to help them see off Scotland.
Any hopes of bouncing back from a miserable World Cup were shattered for Portugal after they suffered a shock 1-0 loss to Albania.
A stunning volley from Bekim Balaj early in the second half decided the match, with the hosts -- without the rested Cristiano Ronaldo -- unable to muster a response.
The Portuguese crashed out in the group stages in Brazil and this was another setback for a team which still included a host of household names.
Scotland put up a spirited show, going down 2-1 to world champions Germany.
Thomas Muller gave the hosts a first half lead in Dortmund, only for Ikechi Anya to level midway through the second half.
However, Gordon Strachan's men were undone by Muller's second goal of the night four minutes later -- before Charlie Mulgrew was dismissed in the closing stages when he kicked the ball away and received a second yellow card.
