The United Kingdom and Ireland have been confirmed as the hosts for the 2028 European Championships.

UEFA revealed the news on Tuesday with the joint-hosts having an unopposed bid accepted by European football’s governing body.

Turkey pulled out of the running last week to to focus on a joint bid with Italy for Euro 2032, which has also been confirmed by UEFA.

Ten stadia will be the venues for the tournament in five years’ time, with six coming from England, one from Scotland, one from Wales, one from the Republic of Ireland and one from Northern Ireland.

Due to the intricacies of having five host nations, UEFA have insisted that all five countries will have to earn their place through qualifying.

However, two ‘safety net’ positions in the tournament will be reserved for the two host nations who have the best record in qualifying without advancing automatically.

Full list of host stadiums

Republic of Ireland

Aviva Stadium

Lansdowne Road is a certainty for the tournament. The 51,000 capacity home of Irish football and rugby has hosted its fair share of high-profile games.

The next showpiece at the Aviva Stadium will be the 2024 Europa League final.

The Aviva Stadium was initially in the plans for the multi-country Euro 2020 finals. However, Ireland's lockdown status at the time meant it was removed.

Northern Ireland

Casement Park 

Construction of the redeveloped Belfast Stadium is due to begin next year with completion scheduled for 2026.

The capacity of the stadium is set to be 34,500.

England

Wembley Stadium

The home of English football is no stranger to showpiece events. It has hosted a number of Champions League finals, while it was also the venue for the Euro 2020 final.

With a capacity of 90,000, it will be the biggest Euro 2028 venue.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Spurs' impressive new stadium, opened in April 2019, has a capacity of 62,850.

Etihad Stadium

The Eithad is the home of Premier League and European champions Manchester City. It beat off competition from Old Trafford. The home of City's rivals, Manchester United, is an iconic arena which is more well known in world football.

Everton's new stadium is due for completion late next year, with a reported capacity of 52,000.
