March 13 – Having launched their bid for Women’s EURO 2029 to the German public at the weekend with multiple activities around Google Pixel Frauen-Bundesliga matches, the German Football Association (DFB) formally submitted (Wednesday) its preliminary bid dossier to UEFA.
Germany’s vision for the tournament is built upon the slogan ‘Together WE Rise’, and a commitment to fostering growth and unity across Europe.
The bid said it will break the one million ticket sales barrier, a first for a women’s Euro, which the DFB said is a reflection not only of “the surging popularity of women’s football in Germany but also the country’s accessibility, the enthusiasm of its fans, and the world-class stadiums and host cities ready to stage a record-breaking tournament”.
The submission, a culmination of more than six months of work, was submitted virtually to UEFA by DFB President Bernd Neuendorf and the senior bid leadership team at the DFB Headquarters in Frankfurt.
Neuendorf said, “I would like to thank the members of the project team and all those involved in the cities and stadiums for their dedicated work over the past few months. This bid dossier underpins our ambition to use the tournament to sustainably strengthen women’s football in Europe in all areas. We want to welcome more than one million people to our stadiums and make the UEFA Women’s EURO an economic success.”
The proposed host cities and stadiums are:
- Berlin (Olympiastadion Berlin)
- Cologne (RheinEnergieSTADION Köln)
- Dortmund (SIGNAL IDUNA PARK)
- Düsseldorf (MERKUR SPIEL-ARENA)
- Frankfurt (Deutsche Bank Park)
- Gelsenkirchen (VELTINS-Arena)
- Hanover (Heinz von Heiden Arena)
- Leipzig (Red Bull Arena)
- Munich (Allianz Arena München)
- Rostock (Ostseestadion)
- Wolfsburg (Volkswagen Arena)
A final decision on the host of the Women’s EURO 2029 is expected to be made in December this year.
