UEFA has confirmed Germany will host the next Women's Euros tournament in 2029.
Germany's bid was selected over a joint proposal from Denmark and Sweden, and a separate bid from Poland.
Portugal and Italy had previously withdrawn their candidacies, focusing on other major football events.
UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin announced the decision, acknowledging the strong quality of all bids.
Germany, which previously hosted and won the tournament in 2001 and 1989, aims to attract over one million spectators to its state-of-the-art stadiums.
