Etihad Stadium included in UK and Ireland Euro 2028 bid as Old Trafford omitted amid redevelopment prospect

Old Trafford does not feature on the list of stadiums put forward by the UK and Ireland as part of their bid to host Euro 2028.

Wembley, the Etihad Stadium and St James’ Park are all listed, as are Hampden Park in Glasgow, Casement Park in Northern Ireland and the Dublin Arena. Everton’s new stadium also makes the cut.

Old Trafford had originally been shortlisted as a potential host venue by the FA in November 2022. Following consultation between United and the FA, though, it was recently mutually agreed that, due to the ongoing planning process around the stadium's regeneration, guarantees could not be made for use of the stadium in 2028.
