Germany were awarded hosting rights for Euro 2024 back in September 2018, giving the country almost six years to prepare for another continental showpiece.
With the Bundesliga firmly established as one of the top divisions in European football, finding enough suitable venues in which to stage 51 matches was never going to be a problem.
Unlike some nations that require considerable time and funding to construct international-calibre stadia, Germany was always ready to throw open its doors.
The 66,000-capacity Munich Football Arena will host six matches during #EUR02024:

The hosts took part in the opening game, against Scotland, with said fixture held at the iconic Allianz Arena in Munich.
Germany's bright start suggested that a standing towards the top of betting on Euro 2024 with Paddy Power was deserved, but their spark was to be extinguished in the quarter-finals.
Said defeat prevented a return to Munich from being enjoyed, with Bundesliga-based Dani Olmo helping to tee up a last-four showdown that has Spain vs France odds weighted slightly in favour of La Roja at 17/10 – with Kylian Mbappe and Les Bleus priced at 2/1.
That contest is the last to be staged in Bavaria, with the Allianz Arena bidding farewell to a competition it has figured prominently in.
In total, the legendary home of Bayern Munich played host to six fixtures at Euro 2024 – a tally that no other ground can claim to beat.
It was lit up in the colours of UEFA's championship throughout a thrilling tournament, in what is a break from the normal red-and-blue schemes that accompany home dates for Bayern and co-tenants 1860 Munich.
The Allianz Arena, with a capacity of 66,000, was the second largest stadium to be used at the Euros.
With that in mind, it seems only right that the biggest venue is picked to provide the backdrop for a thrilling finale.
That honour goes to the imposing Olympiastadion in Berlin, which can welcome some 71,000 supporters through its doors.
The stadium, which has been revamped considerably since its construction to host the Olympic Games in 1936, sits alongside the Allianz Arena on the Euro 2024 hosting table.
It too will have staged six matches by the time another quest for continental glory comes to a close.
With the east emulating the efforts of the west, Berlin enjoyed three group stage fixtures, one in the last 16 and a quarter-final – with Munich seeing four in the groups, one in the first knockout round and a semi-final.

The only other venue to stage six matches at Euro 2024 was Signal Iduna Park – home to Borussia Dortmund and the famous 'Yellow Wall'.
With a raucous atmosphere generated inside a ground that houses 62,000 spectators, the Westfalenstadion was an obvious selection when it came to ticking off the same itinerary as the Allianz Arena – with England's semi-final clash with the Netherlands the last to take place there.
The European Championship hosting baton will now be passed from Germany to the United Kingdom and Ireland ahead of the 2028 event, with many iconic grounds – including Wembley, the Principality Stadium, Hampden Park and Aviva Stadium - set to be on show there.
