Favorite Germany beats Turkey to host Euro 2024

Germany won the right to host soccer鈥檚 2024 European Championship yesterday, beating Turkey following a politically charged campaign.

Germany, which successfully hosted the 2006 World Cup, was the long-time favorite and won the UEFA executive committee vote 12-4 in Nyon, Switzerland. There was one abstention. Turkey is now a four-time losing candidate after failed bids to host Euro 2008, 2012 and 2016. 鈥淓very democratic decision is the right decision,鈥 said UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin, who has been allied with German soccer federation chief Reinhard Grindel as European colleagues on the FIFA Council.
