UEFA PRESIDENT ALEKSANDER CEFERIN WALKS ON TO STAGE 2. CEFERIN IS INTRODUCED 3. (SOUNDBITE) (English) ALEKSANDER CEFERIN, UEFA PRESIDENT, SAYING: "First of all, welcome, also in my name, at the house of European football. We are deciding about an important tournament. Now, for me, it's heartbreaking that with three fantastic bids, only one can host. All the presentations were great, all the bids were great, but that's how it is. One wins, and that's also in football the same, and I would say in life as well. So the UEFA Women's Euro 2029 will be hosted in Germany." 4. WIDE SHOT OF STAGE 5. GERMAN DELEGATION CELEBRATING 6.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) BERND NEUENDORF, DFB PRESIDENT, SAYING: "It was a long journey, and it's not just all of us standing up here, but we had so many people working at the DFB to get this tournament to achieve what we achieved now. And so thank you to all of the people who supported us at the DFB and elsewhere from the teams. And so it was really great support that we felt from the beginning. And I would like to thank all the others in this room, especially to the other bidders, Poland and of course the Nordics. I think it was always fair and we had a good relation and I think we all invite you to come to Germany. As we said, it's a tournament for all in Europe, not just for Germany, but I think you're all welcome, we all like to see you, we all hope to learn from each other and that's going on with a big tournament like ours, I think."
