"Germany will host the 2029 Women's European Championship after receiving 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 its candidacy in August."
"Uefa's executive committee made the decision in the first round of voting, leading to a landslide victory, with 15 of the 17 votes going to Germany's bid. Two votes went to the Denmark/Sweden bid while Poland got none. Germany are record eight-times European champions and the 2029 tournament will come five years after the nation hosted the men's equivalent competition. Dortmund, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hanover, Cologne, Leipzig, Munich and Wolfsburg were the eight host cities included in the German bid document."
Germany secured hosting rights for the 2029 Women's European Championship with a dominant 15 of 17 vote. The German bid outpaced submissions from Poland and a Denmark/Sweden joint bid after Portugal and Italy withdrew their candidacies. Germany are eight-time European champions and will stage the tournament five years after hosting the men's equivalent. The bid includes eight host cities — Dortmund, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hanover, Cologne, Leipzig, Munich and Wolfsburg — with Munich's Allianz Arena the largest venue at 75,024. Seven venues hold at least 45,000 and the DFB aims to sell one million tickets.
