Wainy316 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Germany have beaten Turkey to host the Euros in 6 years time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45666950 Quote Germany has beaten Turkey to host Euro 2024 after a vote by Uefa's executive committee on Thursday. The two countries made final bid presentations before voting took place in Nyon, Switzerland. The decision means Germany will stage the European Championship for the first time as a unified country, with West Germany having hosted the 1988 tournament. Turkey is yet to host a major international football tournament. It has seen previous attempts to host the Euros in 2008, 2012 and 2016 fail, as well as the 2020 Summer Olympics. Germany staged the 2006 World Cup. 'The procedure was transparent' Euro 2024 will return to a single-host format after Euro 2020 is held across Europe, including Germany. Before announcing the winner, Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin said Germany and Turkey had made "very strong bids". After announcing the winner, he added: "The procedure was transparent. The voting was democratic. Every democratic decision is the right decision so I can only say I am looking forward to seeing a fantastic Euro in 2024." Euro 2024 will feature 24 teams, taking place in June and July, with 51 games scheduled for up to 32 days. Berlin will stage the final, while matches will also take place in Cologne, Dortmund, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Gelsenkirchen, Hamburg, Leipzig, Munich and Stuttgart. Former Germany captain Philipp Lahm, an ambassador for his country's bid, said: "We have amazing stadiums, fans who love football, first and foremost we have people who love celebrating with other Europeans. "We will organise a huge football party in Germany." Germany and Turkey were the only countries in the running for Euro 2024 and, in the build up, an evaluation report by Uefa stated Turkey's bid had risks. The report added that Turkey's lack of an action plan in the area of human rights and limited hotel capacity in many cities were matters "of concern". It also labelled the scale of transport infrastructure work required "a risk". However, it did say the Turkish bid was "in line with the long-term objectives of Uefa."

sne Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Great choice, Be happy for them to stage it there every time tbh. wonder how UEFA will manage to destroy the tournament? I hear there is talk of penalty shoot outs in the group games to avoid draws for the 22 WC. Might be something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Still makes it annoying that a country like ours has never held a major tournament since 96, a country with our facilities transport etc should havw had the world cup. I think should we bid for next world cup we would win as the major countries have all had world cups since us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never seem to take the sensible approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully will help. With all due respect to our united kingdom neighbours I would prefer it was a solo England bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django_Zooms Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Have any of you applied for tickets to Euro 2024 matches in Germany next summer? With a history of similar trips, 10 of my mates & I made a total of 20 applications across 2 venues for 80 tickets...and have been offered just 4 tickets. We deliberately picked obscure fixtures before the draw and which cannot feature Germany nor England, because we enjoy the short tourist trip as much as the football. Is this a UEFA controversy or just very bad luck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 I didn't get any Same as 2016, I registered, told a load of people I'd registered, showed people how to register... I didn't get tickets and they did... Some of my office have tickets for games in frankfurt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a UEFA controversy or just very bad luck? I won nothing. Think i applied about 30 games Apparently was a record amount of applications. Might be over 100 million Edited November 16, 2023 by Zatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Taking this off topic on the first page, but I just realised I might need to do some homework if I want to get to Euro 2028 matches. Last time I went to a tournament was Euro 96, only did one game (Scotland 0-0 Netherlands at Villa Park) but it was possible just to buy tickets from Villa Park a week or two before the game. What's the procedure these days? I'll bet I've not been to an England game in ten years but I'm more than happy just to do the games at Villa Park in the Euros regardless of who is playing.

You'll want to use the UEFA fan portal. The first ballot has already been completed (I failed in my attempt to get semi and final tickets), but sign up to UEFA and you'll get updates about further ticket sale dates. Obviously the first ballot went with everyone blind to who is actually playing so there will still be plenty of tickets for each game, which will have varying levels of difficulty to get hold of when we know who is contesting each fixture. Tickets flash up right up to the game. I somehow managed to get England v Germany at the last Euros 3 days before the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 That would probably be just picking up returns. But yeah, I’m happy to go to some of the ‘lesser’ fixtures. Denmark vs Austria in the groups or something. I’ll start laying groundwork now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah random returns flash up but they do seem to hold very small allocations back for every game which they release sporadically up to a couple of days before the game. The Fans First (tier 4 ) tickets are very reasonably priced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to Romania vs Albania in lyon in 2016 Was a cracking game, Albanians were mental, Romanians were violently unhappy with their team, stadium was stunning Conversely went to England vs Slovakia in St etienne and it was probably the worst game of football I've ever seen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
