Germany to host Euro 2024 after beating Turkey to UEFA vote


Germany will host the 2024 European Championships after being selected ahead of Turkey by UEFA's executive committee. After a two-horse race for Euro 2024, the German Football Association's (DFB) successful bid means they will host a major international tournament for the first time since the 2006 World Cup.
The four-time world champions have won the Euros three times - 1972, 1980 and 1996 - and last staged the continental competition as West Germany in 1988.
Turkey, meanwhile, miss out for a fourth time after failed bids for Euro 2008, 2012 and 2016 - losing out on the latter by one vote to France.
