The stadiums that the English federation (FA) has proposed for this candidacy are Hampden Park (home of Glasgow Rangers and the Scottish team), Aviva Stadium (Dublin), Principality Stadium (Cardiff), St. James Park (Newcastle), Etihad Stadium (Manchester), Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Villa Park (Aston Villa) and Wembley (London). In addition, Casement Park, in Belfast, and Bramley-Moore Dock, Everton’s new stadium, which have not yet been built, have been included.
The FA shortlisted a list of fourteen stadiums from which Old Trafford, the second field with the most capacity in England, London Stadium, where West Ham United plays, Croke Park (Dublin), and Stadium of Light have fallen.
“These large capacity stadiums will be the perfect platform for the biggest and most commercially successful Euro Cup of all,” the FA said in a statement.
The bid is supported by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Irish First Minister Leo Varadkar, Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf and Welsh First Minister Mark Drakeford.
At the moment, only the United Kingdom and Ireland and Turkey have officially submitted to host the Euro Cup in five years, although Spain and Portugal also announced their intention to submit, as well as Romania, Greece, Bulgaria and Serbia, jointly, and Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Finland and the Faroe Islands, also together.
