1968, Italy
💡 Explanation:
Euro 1968 hosted by Italy featured three unique records: Italy became the first host nation to win, the Soviet Union vs Italy semi-final was decided by coin toss (the only time this happened), and the final against Yugoslavia required a replay after a 1-1 draw. Italy won the replay 2-0 to claim their first European title.
