The German Football Association (DFB) has submitted its bid to host UEFA Women's EURO 2029. 

DFB Gen­eral Sec­ret­ary Heike Ull­rich, DFB Vice-Pres­id­ents Sabine Mam­mitz­sch and Celia Sasic, and DFB Sports Dir­ector Nia Künzer per­son­ally handed over a copy of the bid dossier at UEFA headquar­ters in Nyon. UEFA Gen­eral Sec­ret­ary Theodoros Theodor­idis accep­ted it on behalf of UEFA.

For almost a year, numer­ous pro­ject groups from vari­ous fields worked intens­ively on the con­tent of the bid. The DFB received broad sup­port from the fed­eral gov­ern­ment, states, cities, sta­dium oper­at­ors, NGOs, air­ports, its regional asso­ci­ations and numer­ous other stake­hold­ers. The bid dossier com­prises eleven chapters. Its con­tent deals with the ques­tions spe­cified by UEFA. Among other things, it covers the topics of vision and legacy, sus­tain­ab­il­ity, legal mat­ters, sta­di­ums, secur­ity, mobil­ity, logist­ics and fin­ance.

At the heart of the DFB's bid is the vision expressed in the slogan ‘Together WE Rise’. Women's foot­ball should grow – in terms of sport, infra­struc­ture, hol­ist­ic­ally and sus­tain­ably. UEFA Women's EURO 2029 is set to gen­er­ate record rev­en­ues, sell at least one mil­lion tick­ets and thus set a mile­stone in strength­en­ing women's foot­ball through­out Europe. At the same time, the bid sets new stand­ards in the areas of vis­ib­il­ity, inclu­sion and empower­ment.

The bid doc­u­ments will now be eval­u­ated in detail by UEFA. The decision on the host of UEFA Women's EURO 2029 will be made by the mem­bers of the UEFA Exec­ut­ive Com­mit­tee at their meet­ing on 3 Decem­ber 2025.

PRO­PRO­JEKT sup­por­ted the DFB through­out the entire bid­ding phase, assist­ing with the man­age­ment of the bid­ding pro­cess, the pre­par­a­tion of the bid doc­u­ments and the national selec­tion pro­cess for the venues.
