    A bstract The first observation of the B s 0 → D ∗+ D ∗ − decay and the measurement of its branching ratio relative to the B 0 → D ∗+ D ∗ − decay are presented. The data sample used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb − 1 of proton-proton collisions recorded by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV between 2011 and 2018. The decay is observed with more than 10 standard deviations and the time-integrated ratio of branching fractions is determined to be B B s 0 → D ∗ + D ∗ − B B 0 → D ∗ + D ∗ − = 0.269 ± 0.032 ± 0.011 ± 0.008 , where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second systematic and the third due to the uncertainty of the fragmentation fraction ratio f s /f d . The B s 0 → D *+ D * − branching fraction is calculated to be B B s 0 → D ∗ + D ∗ − = 2.15 ± 0.26 ± 0.09 ± 0.06 ± 0.16 × 10 − 4 , where the fourth uncertainty is due to the B 0 → D * + D *− branching fraction. These results are calculated using the average B s 0 meson lifetime in simulation. Correction factors are reported for scenarios where either a purely heavy or a purely light B s 0 eigenstate is considered.
