UEFA have announced that the United Kingdom and Ireland will host Euro 2028 after they were left as the sole bidder for the tournament.
Turkey pulled out of the running last week and will instead pursue a different bid which means the tournament will be played exclusively on British and Irish soil for the first time.
The UK and Ireland opted to come together back in February last year and lodge a joint bid as they axed plans to push for the World Cup in 2030.
The tournament scheduled for June and July 2028 will be played across 10 stadiums in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland.
UEFA posted on social media: ‘CONFIRMED: #EURO2028 will take place in the UK and Republic of Ireland!
‘Proposed venues include Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Dublin, Glasgow, Liverpool, London (x2) Manchester and Newcastle.
‘Congratulations to our confirmed hosts!’
Italy and Turkey have also been confirmed as the hosts for Euro 2032, having been the sole bidders for that tournament.
