UEFA recently announced that the 2028 European Championship will be jointly hosted by the United Kingdom and Ireland.
The prestigious tournament will be hosted a stellar line-up of world-class stadiums that showcase the rich sports culture and architectural prowess of each nation.
Euro 2028 promises to be a spectacle, with ten magnificent stadiums across the UK and Ireland gearing up to welcome the finest international teams on the continent.
Wembley Stadium, undoubtedly the crown jewel of the tournament, is slated to host the opening match and final.
The undisputed home of English football, Wembley is a colossal venue and symbol of football history, having hosted Euro 2020 matches, Champions League finals, FA Cup ties and more.
The Principality Stadium, formerly known as the Millennium Stadium, will host matches in Cardiff.
It is the home of the Wales national rugby union team and has also staged Wales national football team games, contributing to the vibrant sports culture in the country.
The state-of-the-art Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is located in London and adds a modern touch to the tournament.
With a seating capacity of 62,322, it promises an immersive experience for fans. This venue is the contemporary face of football infrastructure in England.
Newcastle United's storied St James' Park, with a capacity of 52,305, is making a return to the European stage.
Aided by the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund, there are plans for stadium expansion that could potentially increase its capacity to 65,000.
The Magpies' recent return to European competitions adds an extra layer of excitement to this iconic venue.
Villa Park in Birmingham is a historic venue that hosted matches during Euro 96. It will undergo a £100 million refurbishment to boost its capacity to 50,000 before 2028.
Aston Villa's return to European competitions aligns with the stadium's revival, marking a new chapter in the club's history.
Hampden Park in Glasgow is Scottish football's spiritual home and has a rich history, having twice hosted European Cup finals.
Despite limited crowds at Euro 2020 due to pandemic restrictions, this iconic venue is ready to welcome fans in full force, adding a touch of Scottish pride to Euro 2028.
Having missed out on Euro 2020 due to stricter COVID-19 regulations, the Aviva Stadium in Dublin is poised to make a resounding comeback.
As the host of six matches, including a quarter-final, it will play a pivotal role in shaping the tournament's narrative.
Home to Premier League champions Manchester City, the Etihad Stadium boasts a capacity of 61,000 and is set for an expansion in the next three years.
Despite Old Trafford's greater capacity, the Etihad was selected due to City's ongoing redevelopment plans, including a 400-bed hotel, museum and a 3,000-capacity fan zone.
One of the two stadiums yet to be built, Belfast's Casement Park stands as a beacon of hope not just for Euro 2028 but also the future of the Gaelic Games in Ireland.
Its redevelopment is yet to get underway, but the potential of this historic stadium is undeniable. With a planned capacity of 34,500, Casement Park promises to be a vibrant sporting arena which will echo the cheers of football and Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) fans alike.
The new venue will garner plenty of interest from other sectors including the online gambling industry, with operators keen to see major sports events staged in the northern part of Ireland.
All of the leading betting sites in Ireland are desperate to see the redevelopment completed as it would open the door for major Gaelic sporting events to be hosted there.
Hosting major GAA matches and other sports would unlock numerous online betting opportunities, attracting significant interest from punters across the Emerald Isle.
Elsewhere, Everton's ambitious new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock will replace Goodison Park and spearhead Liverpool's bid for attention at Euro 2028.
The sleek 52,888-seat capacity stadium, located on a UNESCO World Heritage site, will be reborn as a buzzing sports and entertainment hub, breathing new life into Liverpool's northern waterfront.
Progress is already charging ahead. Detailed designs unveiled in 2019 showcase a striking single-tier kop stand, similar to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Its silhouette reflects the surrounding dockland heritage, promising a seamless integration with the city's fabric.
Everton's path to this point has not been easy. Decades of searching for the perfect location, from King's Dock to Kirkby, culminated in Bramley-Moore Dock.
With construction set to begin soon, the countdown to Euro 2028 has officially started. Everton hope to open the doors to their new stunning home for the 2025/26 season, and those plans are still on track.
