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 in August.

The decision came in the first round of voting, with 15 of the 17 votes going to Germany. The remaining two votes were for the Denmark/Sweden bid.
