"I had a certain insight early on and I knew the DFB had done their homework. Both presentations were good but in the end we won out against Turkey," said Rudi Völler who was present at the award ceremony at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. "Now we can all look forward to a great European Championship in Germany in 2024."
The finals of Euro 2020, to be played in 12 countries, will include matches in Germany. Confirmed venues for EURO 2024 are Berlin, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Köln, Leipzig, Munich and Stuttgart.
Including the World Cup tournaments in 1974 and 2006, this will be the fourth big men's tournament held in Germany. The Federal Republic also staged the women's World Cup in 2011 with four of the games played in Leverkusen including a quarter-final. The women's European Championship finals have twice been held in Germany (1989 and 2001).

A disciplined and impressive team performance secured a 2–1 victory for the Werkself against league leaders SC Freiburg, who had remained unbeaten across all competitions until then; two players once again stood out at the BayArena: Artisic dribbler Ibrahim Maza scored Leverkusen’s first goal himself and set up the second, whilst goal-getter Patrik Schick had set up the equaliser and netted the winner. In doing so, the Czechia international set a remarkable club record. Both head coach Carles Martínez and the media were full of praise afterwards. Maza himself was also delighted with the growing rapport with “super striker” Schick: “The more we play together, the better we understand each other.” The Werkself’s comeback secured their fourth home win in their fourth home game of the season.
