Boris Johnson has slammed Russia's bid to host either Euro 2028 or 2032 amid Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, which has already led to thousands of deaths in Europe.
The Russian Football Union announced their intention to host one of the upcoming tournaments, despite the ban imposed by FIFA and UEFA. Russian clubs and the national side are banned from competing overseas amid the conflict.
The UK and the Republic of Ireland have submitted a joint bid to host Euro 2028 and were not expecting to be rivalled, yet Russia and Turkey are both now keen on staging the tournament. Russia, Turkey and Italy have expressed an interest to host Euro 2032.
