UK and Ireland submit final EURO 2028 bid as Tottenham Hotspur Stadium included in 10 venue list

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been included on the shortlist of 10 venues in UK and Ireland's final EURO 2028 bid to host the competition. Arsenal's Emirates Stadium and Chelsea's Stamford Bridge have been left off the list, whilst the iconic Wembley Stadium has also been selected.

The bid states that matches would take place in England at Wembley, Villa Park, Everton Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Etihad Stadium, St James' Park, in Dublin at the Aviva Stadium, in Belfast at Casement Park, in Glasgow at Hampden Park and at Cardiff's Principality Stadium. Old Trafford, which has the second-highest capacity of all football stadiums in England, had been put forward as a potential venue, but Manchester United decided to withdraw from the shortlist following talks with the FA.

Tottenham's stadium is one of the most modern venues in Europe following it's completion in 2019 after it replaced Spurs' previous home, White Hart Lane. The venue has hosted concerts, rugby, NFL matches and other events and now could be used for EURO 2028 should the UK and Ireland's bid be approved by UEFA.
