The United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland have tabled a joint-bid to the European football governing body, UEFA to host the 2028 European Championship.
The bid includes 14 stadiums selected across 5 countries. 9 stadiums in England, two stadiums in the Republic of Ireland, one in Northern Ireland, Scotland and in Wales.
The United Kingdom and Ireland face stiff competition from Turkey who have also submitted their bid to host the 2028 European championship.
Meanwhile, UEFA are expected to make a decision on the hosts for Euro 2028 and Euro 2032 in September 2023.
“Together, we believe we can deliver a world-class tournament, and that hosting Euro 2028 will achieve a strong and sustainable legacy for football and wider society, helping to drive economic growth in local communities.
“Working with UEFA, our plan is to host a tournament that will be a catalyst for transformational grassroots football development – with a promise to share legacy initiatives with European national associations to accelerate growth across the continent.
“The UK and Ireland’s track record of hosting successful major sporting events over many decades means we have the expertise and experience to take this world-class tournament to new heights.”
The European football championship is a quadrennial event and Germany will host the 2024 edition across 10 cities.
The qualifying campaign for Euro 2024 will start in March 2023, with the tournament properly billed to take place between June 2024 and July 2024.
