Leipzig bids to host the 2029 European Women's Championships

Leipzig was already the venue for the 2006 World Cup and this year's European Men's Championship. More than 300,000 visitors attended the matches at the Euros and in the fan zone.

"UEFA EURO 2024 was a great success for Leipzig and brought us further international attention. At the Women's EURO 2029, we want to show ourselves as a cosmopolitan host once again. We are convinced that this major soccer event will also attract many guests from all over Europe and hope to give a further boost to the perception of Leipzig as a sports city and to tourism in the city," said Leipzig's Sports Mayor Heiko Rosenthal.
