UK and Ireland confirmed as joint hosts of Euro 2028

The UEFA executive committee gave the five-nation bid to stage the European Championship the official green light on Tuesday.

Ten stadia across the five nations will host the matches in five years’ time, with analysts projecting a three billion euro boost to the host nation economies on the back of the tournament.

Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer welcomed the news, saying: “I’m thrilled we’ve secured UEFA EURO 2028. It will be the biggest sporting event ever jointly hosted in the UK and Ireland. The UK-Ireland bid would have been the overwhelming favourite to host Euro 2028 even if Turkey had remained in the race. Senior UEFA sources have repeatedly stressed the importance of hosting another European Championship in a major market – following on from Euro 2024 in Germany – as essential to boosting UEFA’s finances in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
