St James' Park included in UK and Ireland EURO 2028 bid amid Old Trafford and Stadium of Light snub

Newcastle United's St James' Park stadium has been included as one of 10 grounds that could host the EURO 2028 tournament - if the UK and Ireland's bid is successful.

The 52,000 seater stadium is home to one of the noisiest atmosphere's in English football, and was chosen over the likes of Manchester United's Old Trafford and fierce rivals Sunderland's Stadium of Light - both of which have dropped to the reserve list.

The other Premier League grounds to have been chosen are the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Manchester City's Etihad Stadium, Aston Villa's Villa Park, and Everton’s new ground at Bramley Moore Dock.
