Germany will bid to host the 2029 women's European Championships in football, the country's FA (DFB) announced on Friday. DFB president Bernd Neuendorf said in a statement the bid was the organisation's "flagship project" which will give an "additional boost" to women's football in the country.

Germany has set out plans to host another major football tournament this decade, after the German Football Association (DFB) announced its intention to bid to stage the Uefa Women's Euro in 2029.

Germany is by far the most successful country in the competition, having won the women’s European Championship eight times since the first event in 1984.

The German Football Federation (DFB) will make a bid to host the women's European championship in 2029, the DFB executive committee decided at its meeting in Frankfurt on Friday. The declaration of interest is to be submitted to European ruling body UEFA by next Tuesday.
