Czech Republic at the UEFA European Football Championship

As the Czech Republic is considered to be the successor team of Czechoslovakia by FIFA and UEFA, they have participated in eight UEFA European Football Championships; three of which were as Czechoslovakia and five of which were as the Czech Republic. Their greatest achievement was as Czechoslovakia, becoming European champions in 1976, however as the Czech Republic they also proved successful by qualifying for the final stages of each of the five European tournament they have played qualifiers for, and becoming runners-up at Euro 1996.
