European Championship 2024 - The upcoming European Championship will take place in the mentioned stadiums.
In 2024, Berlin will host the finale of the European Football Championship. This announcement came straight from the Union of European Football Associations' (UEFA) Executive Committee. Munich will play host to the championship's opening event.
DFB President Bernd Neuendorf remarked after the decision that "Munich for the opening match, Berlin for the final: It's exactly the same as in 2006 during the World Cup in Germany." He reminisced about the glorious German World Cup back in 2006, which was dubbed the "Summer Fairy Tale."
Out of the ten German cities chosen, the stadiums will be used for the tenure of the tournament. Take a look at the photo gallery for all the proposed grounds. UEFA will name these stadiums instead of sponsors, e.g., "Munich Football Arena" and "Arena AufSchalke." The spectator numbers announced are fixed for the event.
Beginning on June 14, 2024, the championship will span over a month, with the final on July 14. A total of 24 teams will take part in the competition, with 51 matches scheduled. The German team automatically qualifies as the host nation.
