Normality will resume at the next major tournament with Germany playing host to a summer spectacle of football at Euro 2024.
UEFA opted to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the European Championship by hosting Euro 2020 – which was delayed by a year thanks to Covid-19 – in 11 different countries before FIFA decided to host the Qatari World Cup in the winter.
We’ve had some quirks in recent years, but we’re returning to a traditional one-country summer tournament in 2024.
The aforementioned winter World Cup means it’s a slightly shorter turnaround between major tournaments for European nations, and Germany will soon take centre stage as they were announced as Euro 2024 hosts in September 2018.
Qualifying is underway, and the stadiums that will be used at the tournament have been announced. However, there’s still plenty to be revealed about the competition’s showpiece event. Nevertheless, here’s what we know about the Euro 2024 final so far.
Euro 2024 concludes with the final on Sunday 14 July. That’s three days later that the Euro 2020 equivalent, which was played Sunday 11 July 2021.

The Olympiastadion also hosted the 2011 Women’s World Cup final and the 2015 Champions League final between Barcelona and Juventus. It’s an amphitheatre with serious pedigree.
UEFA say more information regarding ticket sales will be released in due course. Tickets for the tournament, including the final, are expected to be made available towards the end of 2023, but a specific date cannot yet be specified.
As the tickets haven’t been released yet, an exact price is unknown. However, they’ll be expected to be similar to the Euro 2020 final, which were as follows:
