Where is the Euro 2024 final? It's a question you'll want to know the answer for if you're as optimistic as we are at FourFourTwo, as you plot your nation's route to ultimate glory.

Euro 2024 saw 24 hopeful nations descend on Germany, all fixed on lifting the Henri Delaunay Cup on July 14. The end of the group stage sent eight teams packing and for the remaining sides it's now win or go home. 

Germany has a plethora of spectacular stadiums to choose from to host the final, too. The tournament organisers will have had a tough decision to make when it came to selecting who hosts the biggest game of all, but they have managed to nail down a venue where European football's biggest national team prize will be doled out.

The final of Euro 2024 final will be played at Berlin's Olympiastadion. The famous stadium has a capacity of 74,475, meaning plenty of supporters will be in attendance to create a frenzied atmosphere for the final.

Ranked at No.14 in FFT's list of the 100 greatest stadiums on Earth, Berlin's biggest ground has plenty of history. Originally built for the controversial 1936 Summer Olympic Games and the scene of Jesse Owens' iconic gold medal haul. The stadium has undergone two extensive renovations since then, once for the 1974 World Cup and again for the 2006 World Cup.

For that first tournament, Johan Cruyff and the legendary Netherlands' total football team were beaten by Franz Beckenbauer's West Germany in the final, as Berlin's Olympiastadion hosed three games in the group stages. The final that year went to Munich's Olympiastadion, though Berlin's time came in 2006, when it played host to the World Cup final in which Italy beat France – and infamously, Zinedine Zidane KO'd Marco Materazzi.

That was the first time  technology was used in the World Cup final, actually, as the referee was told by Gigi Buffon to look at the big screen and see what Zizou had just done to his team-mate. Take that one to your next pub quiz.

The Berlin Olympiastadion also played host to Germany's opening match in the 2011 Women's World Cup, while the 2015 Champions League final was another huge game to be played there, in a match that marked the last time Barcelona triumphed in the competition. 

On the domestic German front, 2. Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin have played their matches at the Olympiastadion since 1963, while the German Cup final has been played there every year since 1985. Hertha's rivals and smaller neighbours Union Berlin borrowed the hulking great Olympic stadium for their Champions League fixtures, this season as well, given that their own Stadion An der Alten Forsterei does not comply with UEFA regulations for Champions League stadiums. 

The stadium has also been seen plenty of action so far at Euro 2024. Spain beat Croatia 3-0 there, Poland went down 3-1 to Austria, while Ralf Rangnick's side also claimed a brilliant 3-2 win over the Netherlands there in the group stage, while it was also the venue for Swizerland's last-16 win over Italy and it will also play host to a quarter-final. 

Munich's Allianz Arena and Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park are set to host the semi-finals of Euro 2024.

While the favourites will all be hoping to reach the final of Euro 2024, they'll first need to get through some tricky fixtures in the opening stages of the tournament. 

It's possible to watch all 51 games at the tournament quite easily, though, with each nation's kits set to stand out across Germany this summer.  

The squads are close to being finalised, too, with Gareth Southgate's England side and Steve Clarke's Scotland team all coming together nicely ahead of the tournament.
