UEFA official website listed Slovakia as one of the European Cup champions. Media person "Recordor Han Bing" expressed his views on the matter on social media, believing that this is neither compliant nor reasonable.
Media person wrote on social media: UEFA listed Slovakia as the European Cup champion in 1976, on the grounds that there were Slovakian players in the 1976 European Cup champion Czechoslovakia team, and UEFA official website has listed Slovakia as one of the European Cup champions.
The entire Czechoslovak team who participated in the European Cup finals in 1976, 15 players were Slovakians, and 11 players and 7 players were Slovakians in the semi-finals and finals. Both goals against the Federal Germany were scored by Slovakian players in the final, and 3 of the five players who played in the penalty shootout were Slovakian players, and all of them were made to win the championship for the Czechoslovakian team.
Nevertheless, UEFA's move is neither compliant nor reasonable. UEFA's Football Association membership inheritance rules stipulate that the Czech Football Association inherits the former Czechoslovakia UEFA membership and inherits all international competition honors from Czechoslovakia before 1993. The same inheritance also includes the Russian Football Association's succession to the Soviet Union and the Serbian Football Association's succession to the former Yugoslavia.
It is only because Slovakian players under the Independent Football Association have participated in the 1976 European Cup, and in 49 years, the Slovakian Football Association, which existed in 1976, will be qualified to win the 1976 European Cup championship, which neither respects history nor rules.
The Soviet team, which won the European Cup in 1960, had 17 players, and 4 Georgian players, 3 Ukrainian players and 1 Estonian and Italian mixed-race player. Nieto, who is an Estonian, was still the captain of the Soviet Union at the time. Three Georgian players started in the semi-finals and finals. Can Georgia, Ukraine and Estonia also share European championship titles?
Respect history and existing rules so that there will be no such absurd chaos.
