Germany will host the 2029 Women’s European Championship, Uefa has announced.<\/p>\n
The governing body’s president Aleksander Ceferin said Germany’s bid had come out ahead of Poland and a joint bid from Denmark and Sweden.<\/p>\n
Ceferin, who was speaking at a meeting of Uefa’s executive committee in Nyon, Switzerland, said it was “heartbreaking” that any of the three bids should lose, before he pulled Germany’s name out of the envelope.<\/p>\n
The summer tournament will feature 16 national teams and be played across eight venues in Cologne, Dortmund, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hanover, Leipzig, Munich and Wolfsburg.<\/p>\n
Portugal and Italy also submitted dossiers to host the tournament but withdrew to focus on bids to co-host the men’s Euro 2032 and 2030 men’s World Cup.<\/p>\n
Germany were ultimately convincing winners, receiving 15 votes from committee members, with Denmark and Sweden receiving two and Poland getting none.<\/p>\n
The 2029 finals will mark the third time that eight-time winners Germany have hosted the event.<\/p>\n
They staged it in 2001 and as West Germany in 1989, winning on both occasions.<\/p>\n
“It was a long journey. We have so many people working at DFB [German football association] to get this tournament,” said the German governing body’s president Bernd Neuendorf.<\/p>\n
“Thanks to all who supported us, we felt this support throughout the campaign.”<\/p>\n
Switzerland hosted Euro 2025, with England beating Spain on penalties in the final following a tense 1-1 draw to retain their trophy.<\/p>\n
England are therefore targeting a hat-trick of Euros titles in 2029, with Germany the only team to have ever triumphed at more than two consecutive editions of the tournament – reeling off six in a row from 1995 to 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Germany will host the 2029 Women’s European Championship, Uefa has announced.
