UEFA confirmed this on Wednesday Türkiye withdraws bid to host Euro 2028Thus, the way was paved for the UK and Ireland project to host the continental event within five years.

“Following the announcement dated July 28, which revealed the desire of the Italian and Turkish federations to submit a joint bid to host EURO 2032, UEFA management wrote a letter to both federations today, Wednesday. Confirm that your partner nomination has been duly received and will be submitted for consideration by the Executive Committee” he said in the statement made by the organization.

The board, chaired by Aleksander Ceferin, pointed out that Turkey’s request to join Italy in the next organization means that “its candidacy to host UEFA EURO 2028 has been withdrawn as a result.”

“The awarding of both tournaments still requires the approval of the Executive Committee at its meeting in Nyon on October 10. Presentations at this meeting will be an important part of the process. Will take due account of the content of offers before making a decision“said UEFA.
