UK and Ireland confirmed as Euro 2028 hosts
UEFA confirmed the news today after Turkey pulled out
UEFA has confirmed that Euro 2028 will be held in the UK and Ireland.
The bid was unopposed after Turkey withdrew from the 2028 bid to focus on a joint application for the 2032 finals alongside Italy, which was also given the official seal of approval by UEFA’s executive committee on Tuesday morning.
Ten stadia across the five nations will host the matches, with analysts projecting a three billion euro (ÂŁ2.6bn) boost to the host nation economies on the back of the tournament.
Which stadiums will host Euro 2028 in UK and Ireland?
These are the stadiums included on the submission to UEFA:
Aviva Stadium (Dublin)
Casement Park (Belfast)
Due to be redeveloped ahead of the tournament
Etihad Stadium (Manchester)
Everton Stadium (Liverpool)
Currently being built, Everton's new home at Bramley-Moore Dock is on the list
Hampden Park (Glasgow)
Principality Stadium (Cardiff
St James' Park (Newcastle)
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London)
Villa Park (Birmingham)
Wembley Stadium (London)
Wembley is set to host the final – and potentially both semi-finals – with the other English venues included in April’s final bid submission being the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Etihad Stadium, Villa Park, St James’ Park and Everton’s new ground at Bramley-Moore Dock.
Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, Hampden Park in Glasgow, Dublin’s Aviva Stadium and a redeveloped Casement Park in Belfast will also host matches.
