BERLIN : German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Wednesday marked the start of the one-year countdown towards Euro 2024 by unveiling a competition he called a"home game for Europe" - an event the hosts hope will be an example of sustainable organisation.
"I am happy we are all here to start the excitement and that it all works out and we achieve also good results," Scholz said. Germany has an abundance of venues that regularly host international events, from Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena to Borussia Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park, both of which will be renamed for the tournament.
Cologne, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Gelsenkirchen, Leipzig and Berlin will also host matches next year.
