“I want to sincerely thank all three bid delegations for their tireless work and commitment throughout the process,” said Čeferin. “Each bid showcased vision and exceptional teamwork between national associations, governments and local experts, all inspired by the benchmark set by Switzerland last summer.
“Congratulations to Germany – we look forward to an unforgettable tournament in the summer of 2029!”
