Germany to Host 2029 Women's Euros in Historic Decision
In a move that marks another milestone for women's football, the Union of European Football Associations (Uefa) has announced that Germany will host the 2029 Women's European Championship. The announcement was made by Uefa President Aleksander Ceferin at a meeting of the governing body's executive committee in Nyon, Switzerland.
The decision comes after a closely contested bidding process, with Germany ultimately emerging as the preferred candidate. Poland and Denmark/Sweden submitted alternative bids, but Germany's winning campaign convinced 15 out of 16 voting committee members to back its bid.
Germany will host the tournament for the third time, having previously staged it in 2001 and as West Germany in 1989. On both occasions, they won the competition, with their eight European titles including six consecutive victories from 1995 to 2013.
This historic decision marks a significant milestone for women's football, underscoring its growing global reach and competitiveness. The 2029 Women's Euros will feature 16 national teams competing across eight venues in Cologne, Dortmund, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hanover, Leipzig, Munich, and Wolfsburg.
The tournament is expected to be just as competitive as previous editions, with top European teams already showing interest in participating. England, the reigning champions of Euro 2025, are aiming for a hat-trick of Euros titles in 2029.
