Anfield will not be able to host any matches at Euro 2028 if the UK and Ireland are successful due to the size of the pitch at Liverpool 's iconic ground.
The five home nations have submitted a bid to host the tournament in six years time and are seen as the favourites. However, if they were to be successful, there would be no matches played on Merseyside unless Everton's new state-of-the-art 52,888-seater stadium on the docks was completed.
Anfield's pitch size has counted against it with UEFA rules stating that pitches must have fixed dimensions of 105m by 68m. The Reds' playing surface is just 101m long and cannot be extended due to the closeness of the stands at both the Kop and the Anfield Road end.
