West Ham's London Stadium decision made amid UK and Ireland's Euro 2028 host bid

West Ham United's London Stadium will not host a game at Euro 2028 if the United Kingdom and Ireland's bid is successful.

Initially, the east London stadium was on the shortlist which consisted of 14 grounds. But upon Wednesday's announcement, the Hammers' stadium was absent.

Old Trafford in Manchester, Croke Park in Dublin, the Stadium of Light in Sunderland were also on the original longer list and also all failed to make the final cut.

No reason has been given as yet as to why the London Stadium, which can seat 62,500 supporters, was not chosen.

If England and Ireland are granted host duties, matches would take place at:

  • Wembley Stadium - London
  • National Stadium of Wales - Cardiff
  • Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - London
  • City of Manchester Stadium - Manchester
  • Everton Stadium - Liverpool
  • St James' Park - Newcastle
  • Villa Park - Birmingham
  • Hampden Park - Glasgow
