The UK and Ireland’s bid to host Euro 2028 has been officially approved by UEFA.
Football is officially coming home again after UEFA confirmed that Euro 2028 will be hosted by England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of IrelandTurkey’s withdrawal to focus on a joint bid with Italy to host Euro 2032 left the five-nation bid unopposed to host the tournament in five years’ time.
The FA is keen to keep the team competitive on the run-up to the finals, with Germany having struggled in friendly action in the build-up to Euro 2024. If more than two of the five hosts do not make it, only the two with the best record will secure host places.So there are no guarantees all five will be involved in the finals. Ten stadia were included in the UK-Ireland’s bid submission in April.
The six in England are Wembley, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Etihad Stadium, St James’ Park, Villa Park and Everton’s new home at Bramley-Moore Dock.
