- UK and Republic of Ireland to host Euro 2028
- UEFA to give the green light on Tuesday
- Six venues in England to host Euros
WHAT HAPPENED? The executive committee of the UEFA are set to meet in Switzerland on Tuesday where they will formally hand over the hosting rights of the Euro 2028 to the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, according to The Athletic.
Turkey were initially in the running to host the competition in 2028 but they formally pulled out of the race last week as they will now join hands with Italy to co-host Euro 2032.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: 10 venues across the five countries - England, the Republic of Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland - have been finalised to host the competition. Out of those 10 venues, six are in England - Wembley, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Etihad, St James’ Park, Villa Park and Everton's proposed new stadium, Bramley-Moore Dock.
