With the draw done and nearly all of the pools confirmed, the Euros are less than three months away, with the first fixture,
Germany v
Scotland, kicking off on June 14. The UEFA European Championship 2024 is still three sides short of the 24 teams for this summer’s tournament. The final three participating nations will be decided tonight. Wales, Poland,
Ukraine, Iceland, Georgia and Greece are all one game away from securing their place. This is everything you need to know about the tournament.... Where is the 2024 UEFA Euros being held? The 2024 Euros will be held in Germany which is exciting for Welsh fans if they grab a place, as it will be the most accessible tournament for them since before the pandemic. “Having it in Germany this year would be an incredible achievement and amazing for us to be able to share that with the fans,” said Daniel James to Jonny Owen on the
BBC ’s ‘Feast of
Football Podcast’. “As the last Euros was off the back of Covid, the fans did not experience it like we did. Similar to the
World Cup really. It was hard to get out to Qatar.” It will be the third time in history that the tournament is hosted by Germany but the first time they are hosting as a unified, solo nation. The first time was in 1988, in former West Germany, and second was when they hosted four games in the multi-national Euro 2020. West Germany have featured at every Euros since 1972 - they won the 1972 and 1980 editions. Unified Germany won in 1996. Ten different German cities will host 24 European teams across the tournament, with the final being played in Berlin. When is the tournament taking place? The first stage of this year’s Euros will kick off on June 14, and there will be fixtures almost daily until the final on July 14. The quarter-finals are on July 5 and July 6, the semi-finals are on July 9 and July 10. If Wales qualify, they will be competing in group D, facing the Netherlands in Hamburg on June 16 at 2pm (UK time). They will then play Austria in
Berlin on June 21, which kicks off at 5pm and their final group stage game will be on June 25 at 5pm in Dortmund, against France. Where are the 2024 UEFA Euro venues?
