Portugal wants the Women's Euro

Football

After hosting the men's Euro 2004, Portugal is eyeing the women's version of the continental tournament. The Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) has announced its candidacy for the 2029 Women's Euro, a project justified according to its president, Fernando Gomes, by the country's desire to " take a further step to consolidate women's football in Portugal." The Portuguese will have to fight against another bid announced since the race was launched by UEFA last July: a joint project by Denmark and Sweden. The designation of the host country or countries is scheduled for December 2025. The next Women's Euro will take place from 2 to 27 July 2025 in Switzerland.
