Where is Euro 2024? Host Country and Key Details

Twenty of the 24 participating teams secured their place in the European Championship through successful campaigns in various qualifying groups. The remaining three teams battled for qualification in a 12-team play-off tournament held from March 21-26, 2024. The draw for the final tournament groups in Germany took place at the Elbe Philharmonic Hall in Hamburg.

Did the German national team have to participate in the qualifiers?

As the host nation, the German team automatically bypassed the qualification process. They are placed in Group A of the final tournament, which consists of six groups, each with four teams. The German Football Association (DFB) team is set to compete in the opening match in Munich on June 14th. Germany has participated in every European Championship final tournament since 1972 and has been crowned European Champion in 1972, 1980, and 1996.

When could I buy tickets for Euro 2024?

Tickets for the 36 group stage matches of the European Championship are sold out. However, fans may have another opportunity to acquire tickets if their teams qualify for a knockout match from the quarter-finals onwards. Nevertheless, the chances of obtaining remaining tickets are not very high. All entry tickets are sold as mobile tickets. Consumer protection associations recommend purchasing tickets through official platforms such as the UEFA Ticket Portal.
