Old Trafford And London Stadium Dropped From UK & Ireland's Bid To Host Euro 2028

Old Trafford will not host any matches at Euro 2028.

The famous home of Manchester United had been included on an initial shortlist of stadiums submitted as part of a joint bid by the UK and Ireland.

But that shortlist was cut on Wednesday from 14 to a final list of 10 venues that will be used if the bid is successful.

Sunderland's Stadium of Light, West Ham's London Stadium and Dublin's Croke Park have also been dropped from the bid.

Of the 10 stadiums put forward by the UK & Ireland, two have yet to be fully built. They are Casement Park in Belfast and Everton's new Bramley-Moore Dock home in Liverpool.

Two London venues have made the final cut, in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley.

The other stadiums on the shortlist are Manchester City's Etihad Stadium, Newcastle's St James' Park, Cardiff's Principality Stadium, Glasgow's Hampden Park, Dublin's Aviva Stadium and Aston Villa's Villa Park in Birmingham.

Turkey will rival the UK and Ireland's bid.
