And European football's governing body rejected bids from Greece and Turkey.

Switzerland/Austria will host the 13th European Championship in 2008, an event, which began back in 1960 and has had nine different winners.

Greece were the surprise package of last year's tournament, beating hosts Portugal 1-0 to win their first major football championship.

The first European Championship was won by the USSR, while Germany lead the way with the most number of wins - three.
