Prime Minister Boris Johnson is “entirely committed” to supporting the UK and Ireland’s bid to host Euro 2028 after he had earlier appeared to back the idea of Ukraine hosting the tournament.
Johnson, who is in Brussels for a Nato summit to discuss Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, said it was “beyond satire” that Russia should have declared an interest in hosting either Euro 2028 or Euro 2032. He added that “the best thing possible” would be for Russia to withdraw from Ukraine and for Ukraine to be handed the tournament.
