Germany's Euro 2024 proposal also inludes Hamburg's Volksparkstadion, Stuttgart's Mercedes-Benz Arena, Leipzig's Red Bull Arena, Schalke's VELTINS-Arena and the Commerzbank-Arena in Frankfurt.

Bayern Munich's 75,000 capacity Allianz Arena headlines a strong set of stadiums which Germany hope will be enough to win the hosting of Euro 2024.

The Allianz Arena is joined by Borussia Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park. Both stadiums have reduced capacity when used for international matches, with Bayern's lowered from 75,000 fans to 70,000, and Dortmund's lowered from 81,360 to 65,829.

Other stadiums in Germany's bid include Hertha Berlin's 74,475-capacity Olympiastadion, Hamburg's Volksparkstadion, Stuttgart's Mercedes-Benz Arena, Leipzig's Red Bull Arena, Schalke's VELTINS-Arena and the Commerzbank-Arena in Frankfurt. The bid is rivalled only by Turkey.

Bayern's Allianz Arena is already part of UEFA's plans for Euro 2020, which for the very first time is hosted by no single country. 13 different nations will co-host the tournament, which former UEFA President Michel Platini said would be a "romantic" one-off event to celebrate the 60th "birthday" of the European Championship competition.
