As with sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup, the European
Champion Clubs' Cup and the modern Olympics, the first major European
national competition was the brainchild of a Frenchman:
Henri Delaunay, the secretary of the French Football Federation.
There were teething troubles before the event got off the ground:
the first European Nations' Cup was nearly called off when the
number of entries fell short of the required minimum of 16.
A flurry of late applications averted that fate, although none of
the British countries entered.
In Copenhagen 28. and 29. June 1957 the UEFA congress voted the
European Nations Cup to be held.
From the 31 members of the UEFA, 26 National federations were at
the congress.
The result of the voting was 14 votes Yes against 7 votes No,
while 5 Nations didn’t vote.
15 February 1959 was the closing date for entries.
Although there were only 15 Nations who wanted to compete, they
decided to give the other nations a longer period (until the 6th
August) to decide.
At the time the UEFA Congress was held on the 4th till the 6th June
in that year there were 17 entries and the congress decided the first
Nations cup to be held and the cup would be named: “Coupe Henri
Delaunay”.
To reach an even number of competitors for the final round, a
preliminary match was necessary.

Quarter-finals
The Quarter finals were to be held in the last months of 1959
and the first month’s in the ‘60’s.
There was one very surprising act for one venue.
Spain was due to play against Russia.
The dictator of Spain, Franco ordered the Spanish football team to
return from their trip to Russia.
He hadn’t forgotten that there were Russians who fought against the
Spanish army in their war.
The president of the Spanish Liga Lafuente Chaos who tried to repair
the decision got a NO as answer from Franco.
The secretary of the UEFA Pierre Delaunay proposed to play on a
neutral pitch which decision was accepted by Freanco.
The Russians however didn’t accept that because they thought that
the Spaniards would be guilty for their refusal to play.
That was the way it went and the Russians were placed in the semi
finals.
Russia bye.
Spanish protest
In the quarter-finals, the Soviet Union had a slice of good fortune when
General Franco's right-wing government pulled Spain out of the tie.
The hosts France, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia also won through to
the semi-finals.
