UK and Ireland name 14 stadiums to host Euro 2028 matches as key venues miss out

The joint-bid would see Euro 2028 matches played in London, Dublin, Cardiff, Belfast and Glasgow – but bunfight could still take place over automatic qualification spots

The FA and their Irish, Scottish and Welsh counterparts have formally submitted a bid dossier to jointly host the 2028 European Championship – and announced which stadiums could host games.

Their bid is set only to be rivalled by an offer from Turkey, who have been rejected for five other recent tournaments, with Russia ‘s offer to host already ruled ineligible owing to the war in Ukraine and Italy deciding to instead attempt to win the rights to stage the next tournament in 2032.

The winners will be announced next September.

The British and Irish planning committee have submitted a list of 14 proposed stadiums across 10 cities, which will be whittled down to 10 grounds in April of next year – and the only new arena will be Everton ‘s replacement for Goodison Park.
