The Football Association has announced an official joint-bid alongside the rest of the United Kingdom and Ireland to host the 2028 European Championships.
In a statement by the FA, they have confirmed that they have submitted a preliminary bid dossier to host the tournament, which includes 14 stadia. However, that list of stadia will drop down to ten when the final bid is submitted in April 2023.
Of the 14 stadia submitted in the final bid, West Ham United’s home at the London Stadium is one of nine English stadia listed and one of three in London alongside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley Stadium.

Other stadiums in the current 14-stadium shortlist are Villa Park (Aston Villa), Everton Stadium (Everton), Etihad Stadium (Manchester City), St James’ Park (Newcastle United), Stadium of Light (Sunderland) and Old Trafford (Manchester United).
The other five stadiums are from across the rest of the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. Dublin Arena, Croke Park (Dublin), Casement Park Stadium (Belfast), Hampden Park (Glasgow) and the Principality Stadium (Cardiff) complete the list.
For EURO 2020, played a year later due to the coronavirus pandemic, Wembley Stadium in London was used for six of England’s seven matches, including their defeat in the final to Italy, as well as Italy’s round of 16 win over Austria and their semi-final win over Spain.
