Background

The 1968 European Championship tournament, the third staging of the Henri Delauney Trophy, held by UEFA.

It was dependent on Italy reaching the semi-finals for the final phase of this tournament to be held in that country. It was revealed in January 1968 that the second choice country, should Italy fail to advance, was to be Scotland. When England beat Scotland to the final phase the following month, then the second choice became England's.
