Denmark and Switzerland decided to bid together, under the slogan Perfect Partnership.[3][4] They were originally going to bid alongside Germany for 2022, but the Germans decided to shift away from the project to focus on a solo bid for 2024.[5] Their project was designed to show small nations can host big tournaments sustainably.[6] The bid had full backing from the Danish and Swiss governments.[7] In June 2018, Denmark and Switzerland both played a friendly to further promote their bid.[8] The chairman of the Danish federation, Per Bertelsen, said the bid had a good chance of winning.[9]
