"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).
Following their 4–3 opening victory against Denmark, the Germany U19s made it two wins out of two by defeating hosts Wales, securing their place in the semi-finals with a game to spare. In the 4–0 win, Bayer 04 players Montrell Culbreath and Francis Onyeka once again put in impressive performances, with both finding the back of the net.
