Germany will host the UEFA European Championship in 2024. Germany was selected to host the 17th edition of the competition at a UEFA Executive Committee meeting on September 27, 2018, in Nyon.
The sole other nation that applied to host UEFA EURO 2024 was Turkey. The 1988 tournament was held in West Germany, but Germany will host the UEFA European Championship for the first time since its reunification. The country also hosted the FIFA World Cup in 2006.
The ten venues chosen to host games at the tournament include nine of the stadiums used at the 2006 World Cup plus the Düsseldorf Arena.
Uniquely, the Munich Football Arena will be staging matches for the second EURO in succession; Bayern München’s home ground was one of 11 arenas that hosted games at UEFA EURO 2020.
Meanwhile, the UEFA EURO 2024 final tournament is scheduled to take place from 14 June to 14 July 2024.
Where and when will the final of UEFA EURO 2024 be played?:
Berlin’s Olympiastadion will stage the final on Sunday 14 July 2024.
Hosts Germany will feature in the opening game of UEFA EURO 2024 at the Munich Football Arena on Friday 14 June.
Public ticket sales for UEFA EURO 2024 will start on German Unity Day, 3 October 2023.
Qualification:
Germany qualify for the finals as hosts, meaning that the nation will be represented at a 14th consecutive EURO; Germany/West Germany have featured at every EURO since 1972. West Germany won the 1972 and 1980 editions, while the reunited Germany triumphed at EURO ’96.
