Euro 2028: Among the Ten Stadiums for the UK And Ireland Bid Are Casement Park and Everton's Bramley-Moore Dock
Posted : 18 April 2023
The ten stadiums also include Hampden Park in Glasgow, Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wembley, St. James' Park, Villa Park, Etihad Stadium, and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in England.
The five football organisations from the UK and the Republic of Ireland originally included 14 venues on the shortlist they sent to UEFA last year.
The four stadiums that were removed off the list are Old Trafford, which has the second-highest capacity in England behind Wembley, the Stadium of Light, the London Stadium, and Croke Park in Dublin.
"High-capacity, world-famous football grounds and state-of-the-art new venues will provide the platform for the biggest and most commercially successful Euros ever - making us a low risk, high reward host," a Football Association statement read.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf, and First Minister of Wales Mark Drakeford have all endorsed the plan, with the latter stating that it would be the largest sports event our islands have ever collaboratively hosted.
