UK & Ireland to Host Euro 2028
The UK and Ireland bid for Euro 2028 ran unopposed after Turkey withdrew to focus on its joint bid with Italy for Euro 2032; six venues are in England, with one each from Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, Scotland and Wales; only two host nations will get automatic qualification.
The UK and Ireland will host Euro 2028 while Turkey and Italy have been awarded 2032.
The UEFA executive committee gave the green light to the five-nation bid, which ran unopposed after Turkey withdrew last week to focus on its joint bid with Italy for Euro 2032.
UK & Ireland host stadiums:
- Wembley Stadium (London)
- Principality Stadium (Cardiff)
- Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London)
- Etihad Stadium (Manchester)
- Everton Stadium (Liverpool)
- St James’ Park (Newcastle)
- Villa Park (Birmingham)
- Hampden Park (Glasgow)
- Aviva Stadium (Dublin)
- Casement Park (Belfast)
UEFA favours all five countries going through qualification, with two automatic places set aside for those who don’t qualify on the pitch.
The FA wants England to stay competitive, by playing in qualifiers, avoiding two years of friendlies instead.
