Why Liverpool's Anfield was snubbed from shortlist of UK and Ireland stadiums to host Euro 2028

An official bid to host Euro 2028 has been launched by the UK and Ireland, but the shortlist of host stadiums does not include Anfield.

A trimmed-down group of 10 footballing arenas has been selected for the final submission, but Liverpool Football Club's iconic stadium was never on the list even though the City of Liverpool has been included as a proposed host city.

Instead, Everton's new stadium, currently being constructed at Bramley Moore Dock, has been included as the Merseyside representative, alongside Wembley, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Cardiff's Principality Stadium, the Etihad, St James’ Park, Villa Park, Hampden Park, the Aviva Stadium in Dublin and Casement Park in Belfast.
