Germany has been officially named as the host of the 2029 Women's European Championship (Euro). This confirmation was announced directly by UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin at the UEFA Executive Committee meeting on Wednesday.
"All the presentations and all the proposals submitted were very good, but there can only be one winner, in football as in life," Ceferin was quoted as saying on UEFA's official website.
UEFA revealed that Denmark–Sweden submitted a joint bid, while Poland was also a candidate.
Italy and Portugal had previously applied, but withdrew their bids to focus on preparing to host Euro 2032 (Italy) and the 2030 World Cup (Portugal).
For Germany, this will be the third time they have hosted the tournament, having previously done so in 2001 and 1989 when they were still known as West Germany — both editions of which ended in victory.
German Football Association (DFB) President Bernd Neuendorf enthusiastically welcomed this decision.
"It's been a long journey. So many people at the DFB have worked hard to get this tournament. Thank you to everyone who has supported us; we felt that support throughout the campaign," he said.
At Euro 2025 held in Switzerland, the England women's national team emerged as champions after defeating Spain in the final on penalties.
Germany itself still holds the record for the most titles, namely 8 times champion, far ahead of England and Norway who have each won twice.
