And the stars of the show, such as Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions squad, will certainly be given the stage to showcase their talent, with ten of the finest stadiums that Germany has to offer selected to host games between June 14 and July 14. The iconic Olympiastadion in Berlin is on the list, and so too is Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena and Borussia Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park. Germany is no stranger to hosting major international tournaments, having held the World Cup as recently as 2006, with several of the stadiums used almost 18 years ago set to feature once again.

Originally built for the 1936 Olympics, the ground played host to the 2006 World Cup final between Italy and France. RheinEnergieStadion – Cologne (Picture: Getty) Capacity: 43,000 Home team: Cologne A stadium has existed on this spot since 1923, but the current iteration was constructed ahead of the 2006 World Cup. The ground, which hosted England’s group stage draw with Sweden in that tournament, will see its involvement at Euro 204 culminate with a Round of 16 tie. Signal Iduna Park – Dortmund (Picture: Getty) Capacity: 62,000 Home team: Borussia Dortmund Dortmund’s home is famed for its incredible atmosphere, featuring the iconic ‘Yellow Wall’ which houses 24,454 behind one of the goals. Signal Iduna Park, which was built for the 1974 World Cup, will host six games at Euro 2024, including one semi-final.

Euro 2024 will mark the first time that the stadium is used at a major tournament, although it is no stranger to international events having hosted Eurovision in 2011 as well as the likes of the Rolling Stones, Madonna and Beyonce. Deutsche Bank Park – Frankfurt (Picture: Getty) Capacity: 47,000 Home team: Eintracht Frankfurt The stadium, which is approaching its 100th anniversary and will host one Round of 16 game at Euro 2024, is built on a former military shooting range.

Veltins-Arena – Gelsenkirchen (Picture: Getty) Capacity: 50,000 Home team: Schalke Veltins-Arena opened in 2001, featuring a retractable pitch which allows for the grass to be grown in more natural conditions. The stadium played host to England’s agonising World Cup 2006 quarter-final defeat to Portugal on penalties, which saw Wayne Rooney sent off for a stamp on Ricardo Carvalho – sparking one of the most famous winks in football history from a certain Cristiano Ronaldo. Volksparkstadion – Hamburg (Picture: Getty) Capacity: 49,000 Home team: Hamburg SV Hamburg’s stadium was opened at the turn of the millennium and was built from materials that were recovered from a region of the city which was bombed during the Second World War.

Red Bull Arena – Leipzig (Picture: Getty) Capacity: 40,000 Home team: RB Leipzig Having opened in 2004, the Red Bull Arena is the biggest stadium in former East Germany and has been home to RB Leipzig since 2010.

Allianz Arena – Munich (Picture: Getty) Capacity: 66,000 Home team: Bayern Munich Bayern’s home opened in 2005, becoming the first stadium in the world to have an outer shell which can completely change colour.
