context_page_description: The 1968 UEFA European Football Championship final tournament was held in Italy. This was the third European Football Championship, an event held every four years and organised by UEFA. The final tournament took place between 5 and 10 June 1968.
  It was in this year that the tournament changed its name from the "European Nations' Cup" to the "European Championship".
  There were also some changes in the tournament's qualifying structure, with the two-legged home-and-away knock-out stage being replaced by a group phase.
  Only four countries played in the final tournament, with the tournament consisting of the semi-finals, a third place play-off, and the final.
  The hosts were only announced after the qualifying round, which meant that they had to qualify along with all the others for the final stage.
context_section_description: In all matches but the final, extra time and a coin toss were used to decide the winner if necessary. If the final remained level after extra time, a replay would be used to determine the winner.
  All times are local, CEST (UTC+2).
