UEFA Euro 2024 Germany

Germany has beaten Turkey to host Euro 2024 after a vote by Uefa's executive committee today.

The decision means Germany will stage the European Championship for the first time as a unified country, with West Germany having hosted the 1988 tournament.

Turkey is yet to host a major international football tournament.

It has seen previous attempts to host the Euros in 2008, 2012 and 2016 fail, as well as the 2020 Summer Olympics. Germany staged the 2006 World Cup.

Euro 2024 will feature 24 teams, taking place in June and July, with 51 games scheduled for up to 32 days.

Hopefully the Ethniki is there. Will also be 20 years since that historic tournament in Portugal

10 cities will host the Euro 2024: Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart, Hamburg, Leipzig, Frankfurt, Dortmund, Cologne, Gelsenkirchen and Düsseldorf. The latter four all within a 2.5 hours drive from my home. Interesting.
