Germany to host Women’s Euro 2029 after pledging to smash ticket sales record

Germany will host the 2029 Women’s European Championship, Uefa has announced, after a vote by the governing body’s executive committee on Wednesday.

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 its candidacy in August.

Germany, the record eight-times champions of Europe in women’s football, got 15 of the 17 votes, with two going to Denmark-Sweden. The 2029 tournament will come five years after the nation hosted the men’s equivalent competition.
