UEFA have confirmed the UK and Ireland as joint hosts of Euro 2028.

With a plethora of stadiums capable of hosting matches across the five nations, we take a closer look at the 10 grounds given the nod, some of which will be getting a name change due to sponsorship rules.

Wembley (England National stadium)

Boasting a capacity of 90,000 and established as one of football's most iconic venues, Wembley was a no-brainer to host Euro 2028 games.

England's national stadium accommodated the delayed Euro 2020 final between the Three Lions and Italy in July 2021 and will be favourite to do so again seven years later. 

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (Tottenham)

The only other London-based arena on the list is the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the 62,850-capacity ground having only opened in April 2019.

With impressive modern facilities and excellent public transport links, Spurs' arena pipped the likes of West Ham's London Stadium and Arsenal's Emirates to make the cut.

City of Manchester Stadium (Manchester City)

There was no room for Old Trafford in the 10-stadium shortlist, which opened the door for Manchester City to step in.

Manchester United chiefs were unable to confirm the availability of their 74,300 home due to potential redevelopment plans, meaning City's more modern home — currently known as The Etihad — got the nod instead.

St James' Park (Newcastle)

The footballing hotbed of North East England was always going to feature and St James' Park in Newcastle won the race.

Beating out the Stadium of Light, home of arch-rivals Sunderland, the Toon's 52,000-seater venue was also used when England was last an outright host back in 1996.

Villa Park (Aston Villa)

Another Euro 96 stadium standing the test of time, Villa Park's inclusion means football fans in England's midlands will have games on their doorstep.

Aston Villa's ground has been regularly used for high-profile clashes over the years, including 16 England internationals and a whopping 55 FA Cup semi-finals.

Everton Stadium (Everton)

Not due to open until 2024, Everton's new stadium on Liverpool's Bramley-Moore Dock will be Merseyside's sole venue for Euro 2028 matches.

The waterfront arena was chosen over Anfield, which is unable to host European Championship matches due to its pitch dimensions not meeting UEFA's minimum requirements.

Casement Park (Northern Ireland)

Casement Park is set to be Northern Ireland's sole host stadium for Euro 2028, though the Belfast venue is currently a derelict site.

Financial and political issues have significantly delayed the process so far but it is hoped its inclusion in the final list will help get the project progressing at a much swifter pace.

National Stadium of Wales (Wales national stadium)

Cardiff's Millenium Stadium was another easy choice for the Euro 2028 committee as one of Europe's most famous arenas.

Currently under the guise of the Principality Stadium, Wales' sporting home has hosted the League Cup, FA Cup and Champions League finals in recent times.

Dublin Arena (Ireland national stadium)

The Dublin Arena, currently referred to as the Aviva Stadium, will finally get the chance to host major tournament football after suffering previous heartache.

The Irish venue was stripped of four games at Euro 2020 after being unable to guarantee a minimum attendance due to the ongoing impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Hampden Park (Scotland national stadium)

Though Celtic Park and Ibrox would both make for fitting tournament stadiums, Hampden Park will fly the Scottish flag at Euro 2028.

The Scots played two Euro 2020 group games on their own patch but were beaten in both, while Ukraine's extra-time victory over Sweden in that tournament also took place in Glasgow.
