A total of 16 teams will participate in the tournament. Austria and Switzerland will automatically qualify as hosts; Austria will be making its first appearance in the tournament. The remaining 14 teams will be determined through qualifying matches which started in August 2006. |
| Expect Emotions |
The slogan for UEFA Euro 2008 was chosen on 24 January 2007: Expect Emotions.
The Chief executive of UEFA, Lars-Christer Olsson stated
"It describes in a nutshell what the UEFA Euro 2008 has to offer: all kinds of emotions – joy, disappointment, relief or high tension – right up to the final whistle." |
