Overview

• Germany, Poland, Portugal, and a joint Sweden-Denmark proposal make up the final bidder list confirmed by UEFA.
• Italy withdrew from contention after initially expressing interest, narrowing the field to four bids.
• Germany highlights deep tournament pedigree with eight European titles and previous hosting in 1989 and 2001, while Sweden also brings past hosting experience.
• Seven of the eight stadiums in Germany’s plan exceed 40,000 seats, and the DFB pledges to sell more than 1 million tickets.
• Portugal and Poland would be first-time hosts of a women’s football tournament if selected, though each has staged men’s European Championships.
