Bold claim: Germany will host the UEFA Women’s EURO 2029, marking a major milestone for the tournament and for the host nation. In a formal announcement on Wednesday, it was confirmed that Germany will stage the eighth edition of the women’s continental championship, returning to the country for the first time since 2001 when they became the first nation to win the title three times in a row.
Germany emerged as the chosen host over two other bidding countries—Poland and a joint bid from Denmark and Sweden. UEFA revealed the decision at a dedicated ceremony in Nyon, Switzerland.
The Germany bid aims to build on a rich trophy cabinet, as the current Paris 2024 Olympic bronze medallists prepare to chase a record-extending ninth European title on home soil. They will look to replicate the success of their predecessors who reached the semi-finals at the most recent European Championship held in Switzerland.
England hold the status of current European champions, having defeated Spain on penalties in Basel to claim the title. The 2029 tournament will feature 16 teams competing to be crowned Europe’s queens of the women’s game.
For context, the 2025 edition showcased a memorable slate of moments, from Chloe Kelly’s exploits to widespread fan demonstrations across Switzerland.
Would Germany’s hosting advantage translate into another dominant era for their women’s program, or could other nations seize the moment and push for a new European power base? Share your thoughts in the comments.
