Everton's new stadium will stage games at the 2028 European Championships after UEFA officially confirmed the UK and Ireland as hosts for the tournament
Everton Football Club will host matches at a major international tournament for the first time in 62 years with the UK and the Republic of Ireland officially being announced as hosts of the 2028 European Championships.
Everton’s new stadium, currently being built by the banks of the Mersey at Bramley-Moore Dock, is one of 10 venues chosen to host games at the competition. Along with Belfast’s Casement Park which has been closed for a number of years and would be redeveloped for the finals, the Blues’ future home is one of two incomplete grounds on the list.
On June 28 this year, Colin Chong, Everton’s chief stadium officer, and also currently interim chief executive, said: “We are confident the stadium will be completed in the final months of 2024,” and added: “it raises the question as to whether the club moves in mid-season.”
