Which stadiums are hosting Euro 2028?
- Published
The nine venues hosting Euro 2028 in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland have been revealed.
Matches will be played across England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland, but Northern Ireland will not be a host after Belfast's Casement Park was removed as an option.
Host nations will have to qualify for the 2028 tournament. However, they would be guaranteed to play their group games on home turf if they do so directly.
Both semi-finals and the final are set to take place at Wembley Stadium.
England were hosts in 1996, while Wembley and Glasgow's Hampden Park also hosted games at Euro 2020.
The opening game of the tournament will be held at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, with the full fixture schedule being released after the draw.
