It is anticipated that Cardiff’s Principality Stadium will host the Euro 2028 first game, with Wembley in London serving as the site of the final.
Before now, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Republic of Ireland have never played host to a significant football competition.
Ten different venues, including Dublin’s Aviva Stadium and Glasgow’s Hampden Park, will host games at Euro 2028. The offer also includes Casement Park in Belfast and Bramley-Moore Dock in Everton, the latter of which is still under construction.
Along with Scotland, England was one of the 11 nations to host Euro 2020. England also served as the single host of the World Cup in 1966 and Euro 1996.
