UEFA Women's EURO 2029

[SportLightning]

We are less than a week from today to find out who will host the UEFA Women's Euro 2029. Three bids are in the running to host are: Germany, the joint Denmark-Sweden bid and Poland. Italy and Portugal dropped out from bidding. Who do you think  will host? My guess would be Poland.

I didn't know Italy and Portugal had dropped out, that's a shame. I guess Italy went because they'll be building for 32, don't know why Portugal went. In that case, really hoping for Poland to get it. Germany and Denmark/Sweden will obviously do it well but they're a bit "been there done that". A Euro in Poland could really transform women's football across Central and Eastern Europe - it'll feel like a gamble for UEFA but it's well worth taking.

Germany wins, unsurprisingly. Can't really say that giving an international football tournament to Germany is ever a wrong decision, but I feel like this might be an opportunity missed - especially with the others getting so few votes, that feels quite unjust tbh. Not likely to encourage them. Still we know Germany will host a great tournament with strong crowds because they always do, so like I say it can't be a wrong decision

I hope they can bring on some new excitement to UEFA. Men's tournament has become more and more forgettable. I can hardly remember any relevant highlight from their last one.
