UK and Ireland to host Euro 2028

What? What’s the link with Turkey and Italy? They’re not even near each other! Random.

Don Corleone wiped out a Turkish goombah in Godfather part 1.

They just make it up as they go now

That’s the dumbest thing I have seen.

Can people overthrow FIFA already.

Gonna be pushing near 100 years at this rate since the home of football hosted a world cup.

Not sure about Casement Park these are excellent venues for hosting

Have people seen how this is going to work?

All 5 nations will have to go through qualification - but UEFA will hold 2 safety nets spots for if any of them don’t qualify.

But let’s be honest here, there is a genuine chance that Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland don’t qualify. And 4 does not go into 2.

I wonder if Villa Park may apply for an increased capacity/have work done ahead of the 2028 tournament…

Home nation play-offs?

They’re getting the north stand redone. Will put their stadium capacity up to 52k

It’s the Euros. Qualification is much less demanding than the World Cup. England, Scotland and Wales will qualify, I’m pretty confident so the Irish teams should be pretty safe.

Is that new? I thought typically host nations get a free pass?
