Euro 2028: UK & Ireland sole bidder after Turkey withdraws

The UK and Republic of Ireland will now bid unopposed to host the men’s football Euro 2028 tournament after Turkey withdrew to focus on another bid.

Turkey had agreed to merge their Euro 2032 bid with Italy in July and that has now been approved by governing body Uefa.

While Italy had only bid for the 2032 tournament, Turkey had bid to host both Euro 2028 and 2032.

Both bids still need official approval by Uefa at a meeting of its executive committee on Tuesday.
