The joint UK and Ireland bid to host EURO 2028 was submitted to UEFA on 12 April 2023, with a decision expected in Autumn 2023. The bid primarily relies on our existing world class stadium infrastructure that will not require major capital investment from the UK Government. We continue to engage with partners across the bid to identify the extent to which any UK Government capital investment is required.
