In 2024, the European Football Championship will be held in Germany. But 2028 and 2032 are yet to be decided. Until last year, countries could apply for EURO 2028, but meanwhile have yet to be selected. In a final bid for a ‘win’, the United Kingdom and Ireland, or the British Isles, today proposed their ten potential stadiums.
Will the 2021 European Football Finals return to Wembley in 2028? This is possible because the temple of English football is on the list of 10 stadiums where the British Isles will try to win the competition. Those stadiums are spread across England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Ireland.
Euro 2028
At the beginning of last year, news broke that four more candidates were in the running for EURO 2028 and 2032. This includes the United Kingdom and Ireland, but also Turkey, Italy and … Russia. The latter was abandoned for known reasons and Italy announced that it was only aiming for the European Championship in 2032.
That leaves just two options for EURO 2028: Turkey or the United Kingdom – England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland – and Ireland. The Turkish Football Association has been trying to bring the European Football Championship together since 2008, but has always failed to do so.
