The 2024 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as UEFA Euro 2024 (stylised as UEFA EURO 2024) or simply Euro 2024, will be the 17th edition of the UEFA European Championship, the quadrennial international men's football championship of Europe organised by UEFA. Germany will host the tournament, which is scheduled to take place from 14 June to 14 July 2024.[1] It will be the third time that European Championship matches are played on German territory and the second time in reunified Germany as the former West Germany hosted the tournament of 1988, and four matches of the multi-national Euro 2020 were played in Munich. It will be the first time the competition is held in the region of former East Germany with Leipzig as a host city, as well as the first time that a reunified Germany served as a solo host nation.[2] The tournament will return to its usual 4-year cycle, after Euro 2020 was delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Italy are the defending champions having won the 2020 tournament.[3]

Bid process[edit]​

Main article: UEFA Euro 2024 bids
On March 8, 2017, UEFA announced that only two countries, Germany and Turkey, had announced their intentions to host the tournament before the deadline of 3 March 2017.[4][5]

The host was selected on 27 September 2018 in Nyon, Switzerland.[6] Germany initially planned to fully host Euro 2020 although never announced any firm interest by May 2012.[7]
