It's decided! In four years, the Euro will not be held in Denmark and Sweden, but in Germany. It's gonna be the first major women's football tournament for Germany since 2011.

  • On 3 December 2025, the governing body UEFA officially awarded the hosting rights for the 2029 Women’s European Championship to Deutscher FuĂźball-Bund (Germany).
  • Germany won the vote decisively — receiving 15 out of 17 votes, ahead of the joint bid from Danish Football Association / Swedish Football Association and a separate bid by Polish Football Association.
  • The 2029 tournament will feature 16 national teams across eight host cities.
  • The selected host cities are: Cologne, Dortmund, DĂĽsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hanover, Leipzig, Munich and Wolfsburg.
  • Notably, the German capital Berlin Olympic Stadium — despite its infrastructure and history — was not included among the eight venues.
  • This will be the third time Germany hosts the Women’s Euro, after earlier editions in 1989 and 2001 — both under previous tournament formats.
