Germany is building up to host one of the most prestigious soccer events on the schedule this year, with the EUROs set to get underway in mid-June. This year’s event will see England sent off as favorites, but can the Three Lions win their first ever honor?

Before Betting On EURO 2024 First Time Winner

A thrilling summer of soccer action is set for Germany this year, as some of the world’s best players will be involved at EURO 2024. Throughout history, ten nations have been crowned European champions, with Germany and Spain tied for the most wins with three. The former have also been beaten finalists on three occasions.

Spain have been the most successful nation in recent history, winning the 2008 and 2012 editions. However, one of the most famous winners came back in 2004, as Greece upset the odds to beat Portugal in their home tournament. Cristiano Ronaldo would later gain an international honor when Portugal beat France in their home edition in 2016.

But, could there be a first time winner of the tournament this year? England are still searching for their first major international success since the World Cup in 1966, and they came very close to ending that wait when losing on penalties in the previous edition. The depth in the forward areas certainly make them a nation of consideration this year.

Belgium are also among the elite nations that are yet to win the EUROs, with their best showing coming when finishing second in 1980. Croatia are the only other nation within the top nine of the outright market that are yet to win the EUROs.
