Cardiff Council is set to give its full backing to plans for Cardiff to be one of the host cities for the Euro 2028. The United Kingdom and Ireland will submit their joint bid to host the renowned football tournament in April this year, and the Principality Stadium in Cardiff could be one of the grounds to be graced by the world class talent that plays in it.
Cardiff Council's cabinet members will meet on Thursday March 23 to discuss the submission of the final tournament bid. A Cardiff Council cabinet report says that hosting games at the Principality Stadium during the Euros could deliver "significant economic benefits for Cardiff and the City Region".
Cabinet Member for Culture, Parks and Events, Cllr Jennifer Burke, said: "Time and again Cardiff has shown itself capable of hosting world-class sporting events and they don’t come much bigger than the UEFA European Football Championship. It’s not just the significant economic benefits hosting games would deliver for the city and the wider region during the tournament, if successful, the bid would showcase the city, building on its reputation as an international events destination, bringing longer-term benefits for tourism.
