Euro 96 refers to UEFA Euro 1996, the European Championship held in England in June 1996, remembered for packed stadiums, the Three Lions song and Germany winning the final at Wembley. Short clips trading on that name circulate on soundboards as shorthand for the era, long after the tournament itself. Football creators reuse the reference for nostalgia edits, retro match discussions and jokes about England's long wait for a trophy, because a few seconds instantly place a video in that specific summer of football.
