The UK and Republic of Ireland have been confirmed to host the 2028 Euros with Italy and Turkey to host the 2032 edition.
The bid from the UK and Republic of Ireland ran unopposed and was confirmed by UEFA today.
10 Stadiums will host games with six of those in England including Wembley Stadium which will once again host a Euros final. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Etihad Stadium, St James’ Park, Villa Park, and the under-construction Everton Stadium will be the other English venues.
There will also be games held at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Hampden Park in Glasgow, Casement Park in Northern Ireland (which is being redeveloped), and the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
The five host teams will still have to qualify for the tournament as usual albeit with an added safety net.
Two places in the tournament are set to be reserved for the best-placed qualifying team meaning that should three of the five nations qualify traditionally then the two eliminated will still be able to compete.
Euro 2028 will take place from June to July with the first game set to be played in Cardiff.
“I’m delighted the UK and Ireland will be hosting UEFA Euro 2028,” said British Sports Minister Stuart Andrew about the decision. “We have the experience, the stadiums and most importantly some of the most passionate football fans in the world.
“By working together, the tournament will bring the game to new audiences and inspire the next generation of players, fans and volunteers as well as providing a significant economic boost to the host nations.
"We have a fantastic track record of staging the world’s biggest sporting events and Euro 2028 will be no exception in what will be an incredible festival of football.”
