Germany to Host UEFA Women's Euro 2029 for the Third Time

Germany has been officially awarded the hosting rights for the UEFA Women's Euro 2029, marking the third occasion the country will hold this prestigious tournament. The German Football Association (DFB) secured the bid over competing applications from Poland and a joint bid by Denmark and Sweden. The decision was announced by the UEFA Executive Committee on December 4, 2025, during a meeting in Nyon.

This event will be the first major women's football tournament hosted in Germany since the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup. Previously, Germany hosted the Women's Euro in 1989 and 2001. In its bid, the DFB emphasized its strong potential to fill stadiums and achieve financial success. They aim to break even with this tournament, a noteworthy goal since previous Women's Euros have required financial subsidies to cover losses.

The announcement was broadcast by Deutschlandfunk and covered by Tagesschau, underscoring the significance of this achievement for German women's football. Hosting the tournament again is expected to boost visibility and development of the women's game in Germany, while also delivering economic benefits through full venues and fan engagement.

Germany’s successful bid reflects not only its rich history in the sport but also its commitment to promoting women's football at the highest level. The DFB’s strategic preparations and strong campaign helped overcome stiff competition, promising an exciting and well-supported championship in 2029.
