Continental Championships are competitive sports events held between countries within a specific continent. These championships often feature various sports, including soccer, basketball, and athletics, and serve as a platform for athletes to showcase their skills. They typically occur every few years and can lead to qualification for global competitions, such as the World Cup or the Olympics. Each continent has its own governing body that organizes these championships, ensuring fair play and adherence to rules. For example, the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) oversees the UEFA European Championship for soccer in Europe, while the Confederation of African Football (CAF) manages the Africa Cup of Nations.
