Austria and England UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Austria has a modest history in the UEFA European Championships. They made their tournament debut at Euro 2008 and have since successfully secured qualification for Euro 2016, Euro 2020, and Euro 2024.
At Euro 2020, Austria achieved their best-ever performance in the competition. They advanced from the group stage for the first time in their history with victories over Ukraine and North Macedonia. However, their journey was halted in the round of 16 by eventual champions Italy, who secured a hard-fought 2-1 win after extra time.
England have come much closer to winning the coveted trophy, yet the ultimate glory remains elusive. The Three Lions most memorable performances came at Euro 1996 and Euro 2020.
At Euro 1996, England advanced to the semi-finals, igniting the hopes of the nation playing on home soil. The semi-final clash with historic rivals Germany ended in a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes, and Germany emerged victorious after a nail-biting 7-6 penalty shootout win.
Euro 2020 was another significant milestone for England as they reached their first European Championship final. The weight of expectation proved too much for the young squad, falling short in a penalty shoot-out against Italy.
