Four years to the Championship match, but football fans are already thrilled as UEFA announced the Women’s Euro Cup hosts for 2029.
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin at the governing body’s executive committee announced on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, that Germany will host the Women’s European Championship for the year 2029.
The results were announced after Germany gained the vast majority of the votes from UEFA’s executive committee.
The German campaign pledged to smash records for ticket sales and was selected ahead of a bid from Poland and a joint submission from Denmark and Sweden.
Portugal withdrew from the bidding process in November and the Italian Football Federation withdrew in August.
The final decision came in the first round of voting, with 15 of the 17 votes going to Germany.
The remaining two votes were for the Denmark-Sweden bid.
Germany are record eight-time European champions, and the 2029 tournament will come five years after the nation hosted the men’s competition.
Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hanover, Cologne, Leipzig, Munich and Wolfsburg were the eight host cities included in the bid document.
Additionally, the largest stadium will be the Allianz Arena in Munich, which has a capacity of 75,024, approximately double that of the biggest venue used at Euro 2025 this summer at St. Jakob Park in Basel.
“We are proud and delighted to be hosting UEFA Women’s Euro 2029,” the DFB president, Bernd Neuendorf, said.
“We would like to thank UEFA for the trust they have placed in us. Hosting such an important tournament is an honor, but it also comes with a great deal of responsibility,” the German Football Association DFB added.
