The UK and Ireland have been announced as hosts for Euro 2028 after their sole bidding rival, Turkey, pulled out of the running.
The bid originally featured 14 proposed venues with nine in England, two in Ireland, and one in each of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. That shortlist was then whittled down to a final 10, with Dublin’s Croke Park, Manchester’s Old Trafford, Sunderland’s Stadium of Light and the London Stadium all failing to make the cut.
The ones that made the cut include:
