Putting those in all-seated capacity order: Berlin 74,000 Munich 70,000 Dortmund 65,000 Gelsenkirchen 55,000 Stuttgart 54,000 Hamburg 51,500 Dusseldorf 51,500 Then the remainder are generally between 40,000 and 50,000. Those seven above would all have to get games. That leaves three more. With three already in the NRW conurbation, I can't see Moenchengladbach or Cologne also getting to host. With Frankfurt also likely to get games, on account of the city being well able to cope with the demands of hosting (certainly more suited than the competitors with similar sized stadiums), not to mention the corporate money they'll want to attract to the tournament, and the stadium being basically big enough, that leaves two more. I wouldn't be so confident on Hannover or Freiburg. Kaiserslautern and Nuremburg definitely have strong claims, and Leipzig has some claim to games too. I'd imagine they'd want two stadiums in Bavaria, just so Munich isn't so isolated (I know Stuttgart isn't that far away), so I'd imagine Nuremburg would get one of the two spots. That would likely leave Leipzig, Freiburg, Hannover and Kaiserslautern. I imagine Leipzig would get it, based on geography. Much like 2006, it can't be an entirely West German tournament. So if they get it, the ten I see being likely to get games are the seven above, Nuremburg, Leipzig and Frankfurt. I can't see Freiburg getting it, even with a new stadium. It just won't be big enough and Freiburg don't have the fan base to justify a 50,000 seater stadium. If they did get it, they'd push Nuremburg out, I imagine. |

I think Cologne will end up with games - Overlooked in 1974, 2006 was their first crack at it. I'd certainly think they would e ahead of Hannover who've already had 2 goes.

The rebuilding/updating of the Mungersdorf Stadium in Cologne was not finished in time for the 1974 World Cup. |

The only city that was hard to get into and out of by train on World Cup match days was Kaiserslautern. Due to the lack of accommodation in town most fans stayed in the cities east of 'lautern and many used the trains on match days leading to overcrowding. The Fritz Walter stadium is a great venue for Bundesliga games when there are only 4/5K away fans to get in and out of town. Would like to see Dusseldorf included, great city and great stadium with it's own u-bahn station. Edited by Mulvanystrasse - 17 Feb 2017 at 9:28pm |

Dusseldorf is a fantastic city and definitely deserves a set of games.
God I hope Germany gets it rather than Turkey. I'm sure Turkey would be great and secure but you'd be looking over your back in a way you wouldn't in Germany. |

True.
As I said before, if UEFA won't award the tournament to Turkey when they are the only bidder, they're certainly not going to give it to them when they are up against Germany. |

Yep. The fact they went out of their way not to give it to them speaks volumes. The 60th Anniversary of the first Euros was merely a convenient cloack for them.

Yup, hopefully. Depends on how many envelopes are passed around.
In other entirely unrelated news, Uli Hoeness has just been announced as an ambassador for the bid, which is being sponsored by Deutsche Post. So that's good.

UEFA have released the criteria for Euro 2024.
Strict human rights rules apply. The only 2 bidders are Germany and Turkey. Turkey have locked up 47,000 of its own citizens in the last 9 months since the coup attempt, including civil servants, judges, police, army personnel, journalists etc. Germany 2024 it is so. |

Germany it is so should we qualify hope we don't have to go back to Gelsenkirchen absolute kip feck all in it. Trip to Berlin or Munich or perhaps a visit to Dortmund's fantastic stadium maybe a return to Stuttgart massive square for Cans and unlike England we won't get into a Chair throwing competition like 06.
