UEFA set to name UK and Ireland as Euro 2028 hosts as no rival bid submitted

The UK and Ireland are set to be joint hosts of Euro 2028 with no rival bidder expected to come forward ahead of Wednesday's deadline.

UEFA are not anticipating any latecomers and, as a result, will announce the five nations as the venues for the tournament in six years time. It will also set a deadline of the end of the year by which all the necessary government guarantees will have to be submitted - failure to do so will see them re-open the bidding for the tournament.

Turkey had been looking to lodge a bit for either Euro 2028 or 2032 - the latter of which Italy will bid for. Despite Turkey's desires they are not expected to mount a late bid to challenge the UK and Ireland, according to the Times. Russia were also considering a bid for 2028 but the invasion of Ukraine has seen them abandon that.
