Portugal (1984, 1996 and 2000 in the preliminary round, 2012 in the semi-finals) most often played against the reigning European champions.
The European champions play against each other
In 1980, Germany and Czechoslovakia met for the first time in the preliminary round (1-0) for two former European champions at a European Championship. It was also the first game of a reigning European champion against the immediate predecessor and successor. Most of the games (11) between former or reigning European champions or their successor states at an EM took place in 2012. In 1996 and 2000 there was a preliminary round group in which only former European champions were represented. In both cases, the eventual European champion emerged from these groups. Germany and Czechoslovakia or their successors, the Czech Republic, are the only teams that have already played against all other European champions. Germany most often played against the other European champions (30 times).
The following table also includes games in which a partner has not yet been European champion.
