In the 2024 final, Spain won their fifth title by defeating England 4–0.

Qualification

50 (out of 55) UEFA nations entered the qualifying competition, with the hosts Faroe Islands also competing despite already qualifying automatically, and seven teams qualified for the final tournament at the end of round 2 to join the hosts.
