Germany is hosting the EM 2024. A very special location has now been selected for the draw - it has always caused trouble in the past.
The
EM 2024
will be held in
Germany
.
The
UEFA
now announced where the draw will take place for the tournament.
The starting shot will be given in
Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie
.
Hamburg - The
location of
the "Final
Draw
", ie the
group draw
for the
EM 2024
, has been decided.
The
UEFA
has chosen something quite unusual - the
Elbe Philharmonic Hall
in
Hamburg
.
The association announced on Friday.
In the final draw, the 24 teams are drawn into six groups of four.
The time is December 2023.
Philipp Lahm
, Managing Director of DFB Euro GmbH and DFB honorary captain *, says: “EURO 2024 has set itself the goal of crossing borders and building bridges.

Germany experiences a EURO for everyone. "
EM 2024: Draw will take place in Hamburg - "excellent choice"
DFB * General Secretary
Friedrich Curtius
considers the Elbphilharmonie to be an “excellent choice”.
The concert hall has been one of Hamburg's landmarks since its completion in 2016.
The project caused trouble for a long time; construction dragged on for a total of nine years.
The events in the Elbphilharmonie have quickly gained a worldwide reputation for this.

EM 2024: Competition for the second time in Germany - Philipp Lahm heads OK
With the EM 2024, a European championship will take place in Germany for the second time.
The first took place in
1988
, when the Netherlands won the title.
Germany became a three-time European champion *.
Bayern legend Philipp Lahm is pulling the cord - he heads the organizing committee, like
Franz Beckenbauer
once did
at the
2006 World Cup
.
The closer the tournament gets, the more present it will be.
He is currently holding back.
Philipp Lahm could never win the EM - and is raised because of that
Lahm himself was never granted the European Championship title.
The 36-year-old is therefore hoping for German success: “Then I could write that on any autograph card.
Celia (
Celia Sasic
, "Special Advisor" of the DFB Euro GmbH, d. Red.) Always pulls me a bit because of it, "said the 2014 World Cup captain.
The current form of the DFB-Elf does not speak for an early title.
There was still no victory in the Nations League.
