Euro 2028: UK and Ireland submit final bid for European Championship and reveal 10 shortlisted host stadiums | Football News | Sky Sports

Lucy Frazer, Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, said: "Our two countries would make a perfect location to host Euro 2028. We’ve got iconic stadiums, excellent infrastructure, and perhaps the most important of all, we have some of the most passionate fans in the world.

“It will be a tournament defined by inclusivity, one where everyone is welcome, and one with a legacy that should inspire future generations.”

The only other bid is Turkey. Can we just skip it for another four years?

Wrong.

The English* FA Cup second round is next week, and I’d rather support grassroots and lower leagues than the farce that is the FIFA World Cup.

Only the top leagues have stopped for the tournament.

Also, for the whataboutists, I am opposed to Euro 2028 being held in the UK (as well as Turkey, but that’s irrelevent to the argument)

We will not be forced out of the game because we are LGBTQI+.

* Yes, there are some Welsh teams too
