press release from

The whole city a stadium

From 14 June to 14 July 2024 Germany is hosting the UEFA EURO 2024. And Stuttgart, too, will then be at the focus of football fans from all over Europe. As one of ten host cities, Stuttgart is looking forward to staging matches with teams from Slovenia, Denmark, Hungary, Scotland, Belgium, Ukraine and Germany. Stuttgart will present itself as an exceptional host with public viewing, the EURO 2024 Festival and a wide range of cultural offers. 

Under the motto "The whole city a stadium", Baden-Württemberg's capital will be an outstanding host to visitors from Germany and abroad. Like Stuttgart's unique 'stadium topography' with vineyards and hills that enclose the city centre, the motto also echoes the inhabitants' passion for sports. This "home EURO" is namely just the latest in a long series of magnificent past sporting highlights. As far back as 1993 the World Athletics Championships enthused masses of spectators, carried away in the euphoria of 'Mexican Waves' in the arena. And in 2006 Stuttgart rose to even greater heights as the city of the "summer fairy tale", when after a thrilling championship the German national team won third place here in the FIFA World Cup. In 2024 Stuttgart Arena will be the venue for four group matches (16 / 19 / 23 / 26 June) and one quarter-final (5 July). But apart from these five games, guests and football fans alike can look forward to an unforgettable experience. The Fan Zone on Palace Square, right in the heart of town, guarantees an electrifying atmosphere for 30,000 people. Here, fans can watch all 51 matches of the UEFA EURO 2024 on giant screens, share in the excitement and celebrate with their favourites. In addition to public viewing they can also join in sporting and other activities on the Marketplace. On Karlsplatz the theme is culture, while Schillerplatz is the place for gastronomy.

For all those hoping to experience more than just football, the short distances between the stadium, the city centre and countless cultural institutions are ideally convenient for combining this international sporting event with the city's wide range of attractions, all within easy reach. The Museum of Art, the Opera House and Theatre, the New and Old Palaces, the State Gallery and the Stadtpalais/Museum for Stuttgart are located all around Palace Square and only five minutes' walk away. Standing out on the skyline and visible from all of these places is Stuttgart's landmark, the SWR TV Tower Stuttgart. This unique blend is second to none in Germany and makes Stuttgart the perfect destination for event and culture enthusiasts.
