Confirmed bids

[edit]

Four declarations of interest have been made to the deadline of 24 September 2024 to host the tournament:

  •  Denmark and  Sweden – After the two nations failed to receive the 2025 hosting rights with Finland and Norway, president of the Swedish federation, Fredrik Reinfeldt said they would look into potentially bidding in the future.[4] On 8 February, before the 2024 UEFA Congress in Paris, Denmark and Sweden expressed an interest in hosting the event.[5][6] The four Nordic countries planned to bid again, but after the evaluation report for 2025 stated the likelihood of winning would increase with only two co-hosts, Denmark and Sweden decided to pair up.[7][8] Norway was reportedly disappointed with their decision and wants to negotiate with them about joining the bid.[9][10] On 24 April 2024, Denmark and Sweden decided against bringing Norway into the bid.[11]
  •  Poland – After failing to receive the 2025 hosting rights, on 26 July 2024 president of Polish football federation Cezary Kulesza announced that Poland will bid once again to host the tournament in 2029.[12]
  •  Portugal - On 4 September 2024 Portugal, after a general meeting of portuguese federation board, announced they would present a bid to host the Euro 2029.[13][14]
  •  Germany – The German Football Federation (DFB) decided on 20 September 2024 that they would make a bid for the Euro 2029 and submit their interest to UEFA by the deadline of 24 September.[15][16] 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 Germany.[17]
