UEFA EURO 2024
The ambassadors for the Host City Düsseldorf
As part of the draw for the qualifying groups for UEFA EURO 2024, the ten German host cities announced the official ambassadors. Martina Voss-Tecklenburg, the former national coach of the German women's national football team and member of the supervisory board of Fortuna Düsseldorf, was appointed for Düsseldorf.
The state capital Düsseldorf has also appointed local ambassadors. Sandra Mikolaschek (Borussia Düsseldorf) and Selin Oruz (Düsseldorfer Hockey Club 1905 eV) are supposed to be “playmakers” in the truest sense of the word, supporting Martina Voss-Tecklenburg in her task and incorporating their own perspectives and experiences into the preparations for the UEFA EURO 2024 in Düsseldorf to participate.
Full commitment to football for all
Martina Voss-Tecklenburg
Martina Voss-Tecklenburg, born on December 22, 1967 in Duisburg, former national football player, former national coach of the German women's national football team and member of the supervisory board of Fortuna Düsseldorf. Voss-Tecklenburg has always been closely linked to football and the host city of Düsseldorf. Voss-Tecklenburg is committed to football for everyone. On that place. In the city. And far beyond that. That's exactly why she is our official ambassador for UEFA EURO 2024 in Düsseldorf
Sport can overcome boundaries, prejudices and barriers
Sandra Mikolaschek
Sandra Mikolaschek, born on June 18, 1997 in Lutherstadt Eisleben, active para table tennis player at Borussia Düsseldorf, two-time Paralympic participant, multiple German champion in singles and doubles, will be a member of the Düsseldorf team on the way to the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris the sports city of Düsseldorf supports. Mikolaschek gives everything every day to advance himself and thus the sport of disabled people and table tennis. In doing so, she impressively shows us how sport can overcome boundaries, prejudices and barriers. And that's exactly why Sandra Mikolaschek is a playmaker for us and the UEFA EURO 2024 in Düsseldorf.
Sport encourages socialising with other people
Selin Oruz
Selin Oruz, born on February 5, 1997 in Krefeld, national hockey player in the service of the Düsseldorf Hockey Club 1905 eV since 2013, German champion, two-time Olympian, also a member of the Düsseldorf team with the goal of the 2024 Olympics in Paris. For Oruz, it's not primarily about football itself, but about what football and sport as a whole stand for. Getting together with other people. To form a team, give everything and stick together - no matter who you are and where you come from. She lives this unifying power of sport on and off the pitch. As an athlete and as a doctor. And that's exactly why Selin Oruz is a playmaker for us and the UEFA EURO 2024 in Düsseldorf.
