Euro 2024 (officially called the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship) is now well underway, and most of you who have been following the tournament will have already noticed some of the major venues where games are being played, all of which belong to German Bundesliga teams.
On this page, we will be taking a look ahead to Euro 2028, which will be held at ten venues across nine host cities in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Surprisingly, Manchester United's Old Trafford and Liverpool's Anfield stadiums have both been ruled out. Find out why right here.
On April 12, 2023, ten host stadiums for the upcoming 2028 European Football Championship were announced and finally confirmed by UEFA later on in the year (October 10). The next tournament is scheduled to run from June 9 until July 9, 2028.
The ten venues across nine cities in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland hosting Euro 2028 games are as follows:
Manchester United's home ground, Old Trafford (also known as the Theatre of Dreams), was ruled out because the Premier League club couldn't assure UEFA that repairs/renovations would be completed before the start of the tournament.
Liverpool's home ground, Anfield, was ruled out because the pitch size doesn't meet UEFA standards. In other words, the pitch isn't quite big enough.
Just like Euro 2024, the minimum stadium capacity for a Euros host stadium is 30,000 seats.
Euro 2024 is in full swing, and as we approach the end of the group stage matches, things are starting to get exciting.

Just a few hours later, at 20:00, Georgia play Portugal at the Veltins-Arena, and the Czech Republic take on Turkey at the Volksparkstadion. The next phase of the tournament after the group stages is the round of 16 knockout phase, which starts on June 29.
Switzerland have already made it through to the next stage of Euro 2024 and will be the first team to play in the knockout phase.
Germany, Portugal, and Spain have also made it through. Germany will also play their next Euro 2024 game on June 29. Spain play the following day, and Portugal the day after.
