The jewel in UEFA's international football crown will return to Germany in the heart of the continent in 2024
Having seen off the challenge of Turkey for the right to host the European Championship in 2024, Germany's football authorities will already be setting things in motion for staging the tournament.
It will be Germany's second time hosting the competition after it was previously staged in what was then West Germany in 1988, and it will be the first major tournament to be held in the country since the World Cup in 2006.
