Leipzig is to be the venue for the 2029 European Women's Football Championship. The city and Bundesliga club RB Leipzig announced that they had submitted an official application to the German Football Association with the Red Bull Arena.
"With our path to the Bundesliga, we have established our club and the city of Leipzig as a location for women's soccer in Germany - not least through the promotion and development of players through to their national teams," said RB soccer boss Viola Odebrecht. Hosting matches at the European Championship is a great opportunity.
A total of 17 cities had submitted their interest to the DFB to host the final tournament. Applications had to be submitted by Wednesday. The DFB will make a pre-selection of the eight venues on February 14. The association must now submit the preliminary bid documents for hosting the European Championship to UEFA by March 12, and the final portfolio must be submitted by August 27.
