The stadiums of five Premier League clubs have been included in a bid to host UEFA EURO 2028 by the Football Associations of England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, City of Manchester Stadium, St James’ Park and Villa Park, along with Everton Stadium - which is currently under construction - are among 10 grounds across the UK and Ireland to feature in the proposal submitted today.

“We're delighted to propose to UEFA and the European football family a world-class stadia concept tailor-made for EURO 2028,” reads a statement.

“High-capacity, world-famous football grounds and state-of-the-art new venues will provide the platform for the biggest and most commercially successful UEFA EURO ever.

“The UK and Ireland share a proud reputation as world-leading event destinations which have successfully staged some of the biggest global sporting tournaments – backed by strong government support. This includes the recent record-breaking UEFA Women’s EURO 2022.”

The bid and use of stadiums of five Premier League clubs would ensure almost three million tournament tickets are made available, more than any previous UEFA Euro competition. The average stadium capacity of 58,000 means more fans than ever before would be able to attend matches.
