Expanded Format
Following the successful format of previous years, Euro 2024 will once again see an expanded lineup, featuring 24 national teams. This expanded format serves two primary purposes: it extends the reach and inclusivity of the tournament while adding more excitement and unpredictability. More teams mean more matches, thus broadening the competitive landscape and giving smaller footballing nations the opportunity to shine on the big stage.
Host Nation: Germany
For the first time since 1988, Germany will host the European Championship, bringing their trademark efficiency and organization to the forefront. With a deep footballing heritage, Germany’s infrastructural readiness and passionate fan base make it a stellar venue.
