Continent-wide soccer tournament, informally

EUROCUP

This biennial competition features top national teams from countries like France, Germany, and Italy—often held in summer with a trophy named after its host. Think of the shorter, colloquial name fans use.

This clue refers to the UEFA European Championship, a major soccer competition where national teams from Europe compete. The term "informally" hints at the common shorthand name "Euro Cup," which is often shortened further to "EUROCUP" in casual conversation. The word "continent-wide" confirms it’s about Europe, not a global tournament like the World Cup.
