DFB-president Wolfgang Niersbach explained: “This was not an easy decision for us by any means. We had two really strong applicants in Berlin and Munich. Both have proven consistently, that they are able to host such major events. We are sure that we have a good chance to receive one of the packages for the EURO 2020 with Munich as a host city.”
