Germany have won the Women's Euros a record eight times

Germany will host the 2029 Women's European Championship, Uefa has announced.

The governing body's president Aleksander Ceferin said Germany's bid had come out ahead of Poland and a joint bid from Denmark and Sweden.

Ceferin, who was speaking at a meeting of Uefa's executive committee in Nyon, Switzerland, said it was "heartbreaking" that any of the three bids should lose, before he pulled Germany's name out of the envelope.

The summer tournament will feature 16 national teams and be played across eight venues in Cologne, Dortmund, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hanover, Leipzig, Munich and Wolfsburg.
