Great Britain and Ireland were the favorites to host the European Championship after ending their quest for the 2030 World Cup, which FIFA awarded to Spain, Portugal and Morocco. The Principality Stadium in Cardiff is expected to host the first match of 2028, while the final will be played at Wembley Stadium in London.
Glasgow’s Hampden Park, Dublin’s Aviva Stadium, Belfast’s Casement Park and Everton’s Bramley-Moore Dock are included, along with Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Etihad Stadium, St. James Park and Villa Park.
Turkey had submitted its bid to host Euro 2028 and 2032 but withdrew from the former after UEFA ratified its 2032 bid. A potential shortlist of twenty stadiums has been drawn up and ten finals will be selected before October 2026. Italy and five in Turkey.
