The second tournament for the Henri Delaunay Cup (including qualification) was held from June 21, 1962 to June 21, 1964 as the "European Cup of Nations" or "European Cup of Countries". Since the European Football Championship emerged from this competition , it is referred to as the second European Football Championship. Four teams were supposed to play the final round, which took place in Spain from June 17 to 21, 1964 after qualifying. The organizer was only determined after the four participants ( Spain , Hungary , the Soviet Union and Denmark ) had been determined. The entire competition was played out again in the knockout system . Spain defeated the Soviet Union 2-1 in the final.
