FA chiefs believe the “phenomenal” success of the Euros will have a lasting legacy for future tournaments.
They have already launched a joint bid with Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland to stage Euros 2028. And the Lionesses are hoping they may even make a bid for the women’s 2027 World Cup because the women’s Euros has been such a hit.
Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham says the Euros has strengthened their confidence and standing for future tournaments. It may also have gone a long way to restoring the English FA’s reputation after the shocking violence and crowd trouble which marred last year’s men’s Euros final at Wembley.
