Germany will host the 2029 UEFA Women's European Championship, the sport's governing body for Europe announced. This marks the first major women's football tournament in the country since the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.
The German Football Association (DFB) won the hosting rights after a bidding process. The tournament, commonly called the Women's Euros, is held every four years.
Hosting the event is expected to boost the profile of women's football in Germany. The nation's women's national team is a historic power, having won eight European titles.
The 2029 tournament will feature an expanded format with 16 national teams. Further details on host cities and match schedules will be announced in the coming years.
