Turkey have withdrawn from the bidding to host Euro 2028, according to reports, meaning the UK and Ireland are set to be ratified unopposed next Tuesday by UEFA.
Turkey have teamed up with Italy to host the 2032 tournament following UEFA approval, meaning there is just a single bid now to host the 2028 edition.The Aviva Stadium and the as yet to be built Casement Park in Belfast are listed among 10 confirmed venues for the combined Irish and UK bid. The other eight stadia are Wembley, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Etihad Stadium, Everton's new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium, Villa Park and St James' Park in England, Hampden Park in Scotland and the Cardiff National Stadium in Wales.
The UK and Ireland bid has political support in all five nations, with a joint statement on behalf of the nations' leaders in April saying they would be"honoured" to deliver the tournament. Last year the government projected the economic benefit if Ireland were to co-host the tournament would be €361 million, claiming there had been"a very extensive cost benefit analysis and objective scrutiny" of the proposal.
