Executive Summary

The 17th Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) European Championship (Euro 2024) soccer tournament is due to take place across Germany from June 14 to July 14. The quadrennial event comes with myriad logistics issues due to the influx of millions of fans from at least 24 countries attending 51 matches across 10 stadiums. Germany’s public transportation, accommodation, tourism, and security services will be put to the test. German authorities are most concerned with the transportation system, which has been beset by funding cuts and labor strikes in 2024, as well as a renewed terrorism threat posed by supporters and terror groups like al-Qaeda and the Islamic State. Euro 2024 attendees may also experience issues related to crime, public drunkenness, and cyber scams targeting spectators at the matches and related events.
