Dortmund
Regarded as the cultural heart of the Ruhr district, Dortmund was mainly known for coal, steel and beer 50 years ago, but has transformed into a major technology centre, with a vibrant cultural scene and a rich sporting heritage on display at the German Football Museum. Matches in Dortmund were played at BVB Stadion Dortmund.
Stuttgart
Stuttgart is a major industrial city and home to two of the world's most famous car manufacturers, Mercedes and Porsche, but visitors can also enjoy a rich wine and culinary scene, with Flädlesuppe (pancake soup) at the forefront among the local specialities. Matches in Stuttgart were played at Stuttgart Arena.
Gelsenkirchen
Gelsenkirchen is known for its history of coal mining and steel production, but today visitors will find green spaces, theatres and boat cruises, as well as the industrial heritage of the Ruhr district. Matches in Gelsenkirchen were played at Arena AufSchalke.
Hamburg
Hamburg, Europe's third-largest city, which is nevertheless not the country's capital, has a world-famous harbour, rich cultural history, impressive architecture and nightlife, making it a 'wish list' city for many tourists. Matches in Hamburg were played at Volksparkstadion Hamburg.
Cologne
Cologne, a city steeped in history, is situated on the Rhine River and is home to more than one million inhabitants, as well as the most visited monument in Germany: the Cathedral Church of St Peter, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Matches in Cologne were played at Cologne Stadium.

Frankfurt
Frankfurt, a global centre of commerce and finance located on the banks of the River Main, is Germany's fifth largest city and its distinctive skyline has earned it the nickname 'Mainhattan'. Matches in Frankfurt were played at Frankfurt Arena.
Leipzig
Leipzig, once the home of Johann Sebastian Bach, is steeped in culture and history, not least the peaceful demonstrations in 1989, which reflected the mood as Germany moved towards reunification. Matches in Leipzig were played at Leipzig Stadium.
Football feast in Germany!
UEFA Euro 2024 promised to be a tournament full of excitement, featuring matches in some of Germany's most iconic cities. With its world-class venues and rich football history, Germany seemed the ideal host for this unforgettable event.
The course of Euro 2024
Euro 2024 began with a strong opening for the German national team, which smashed the Scots 5–1 in their opening match at the Allianz Arena and immediately became one of the main favorites to win the title. While the hosts excelled in their group, huge problems were faced by the defending champions, the Italians, who were only promoted by a goal for 1–1 in their last match against Croatia, scored in the eighth minute of added time.
Also noteworthy was the brave performance of the Georgian national team, the only debutant at this European Championship. Willy Sagnol's proteges got out of the group thanks to their victory in the last game against Portugal, and Georges Mikautadze's three goals gave him the title of top scorer, ex aequo with five other players. In the round of 16, however, the Georgians were unable to overcome a strong Spain...
... who, in fact, won the entire tournament, claiming a record fourth title. After defeating Georgia, the Spaniards faced only very strong teams: Germany (a premature final?), France and then England in the final at Olympic Stadium, and their triumph, laced with spectacular play, was fully deserved.
The English, despite reaching the final, looked much less impressive in the tournament. They miraculously avoided dropping out as early as round of 16, where in the match against Slovakia they went into overtime thanks to a goal scored in the fifth minute of added time. Then, in the quarterfinals they turned out to be better than the Swiss only after a series of penalty kicks, and they won the semifinal against the Netherlands after a goal from the 90th minute.
The Italians, who were defending the trophy, eventually ended their participation in the tournament in round of 16 (losing to Switzerland), while the Portuguese, with 39-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo in the lineup, fell in the quarterfinals after a series of penalty kicks against France.
What was the schedule for UEFA Euro 2024?
The final tournament of UEFA Euro 2024 took place from June 14 to July 14, 2024. The group draw took place in Hamburg on Saturday 2 December. As the host nation, Germany was seeded in Group A and was ranked A1; they played therefore the opening match against Scotland at the Munich Football Stadium on Friday June 14. The final took place at Olympiastadion Berlin on July 14.
