Ireland, UK present Euro 2028 bid

On Wednesday, the UK and Ireland officially bid to host Euro 2028. Among the venues mentioned were the stadiums of Everton, Tottenham, and Newcastle United.

There are ten venues total in the bid: Wembley Stadium, Hampden Park, Principality Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Etihad Stadium, St. James’ Park, Villa Park, Hampden Park, Aviva Stadium, Casement Park, and the new Everton stadium, which is still being built.

While several games were played at Wembley Stadium and Hampden Park during Euro 2020, England also hosted the 1966 World Cup and Euro 96.

England also served as the host nation for the 2022 Women’s Euro, which ended with a victory for the country.

The bid claims the UK and Ireland is: “Committed to delivering a record-breaking tournament with more tickets than ever before to grow a more diverse and inclusive game,” saying there will be almost three million tournament tickets available.

UEFA also confirmed it had received bid dossiers from Turkey to host either Euro 2028 or 2032, and Italy for Euro 2032.

The UEFA Executive Committee will vote in October to decide who has won the right to host both tournaments.
