European Championship 2024 final in Olympiastadion
UEFA decided in May 2022 that the European Championship 2024 final may be played in the Olympiastadion in Germany. The Olympiastadion is considered a special stadium where the unforgettable final battle of EURO 2024 will undoubtedly take place.
The stadium is the largest of all 10 stadiums for the European Football Championship, with a capacity of 75,000 seats. Six matches will be played, culminating in the final on July 14, 2024.
The stadium was built for the 1936 Olympic Games and has undergone two extensive renovations, once for the 1974 World Cup and again for the 2006 World Cup.
Referee final
On Sunday, the sporting world will turn its eyes to François Letexier, who will make history as the youngest referee ever at a European Championship final. The 35-year-old Frenchman is honored to officiate the final between Spain and England in Berlin.
Letexier, who started refereeing at 14, has already gained extensive experience in major competitions. This EURO is his first major tournament, where he previously officiated matches between Croatia and Albania, Denmark and Serbia, and Spain against Georgia.
"It is a great honor and an immense satisfaction," says Letexier. "I never expected this, but I am grateful for all the support I have received."
