The 10 stadiums in joint Ireland and UK bid for Euro 2028 revealed

The list was cut back from 14 stadiums.

The bid was confirmed, and lodged, on Wednesday with two unbuilt/unfinished stadiums included - Belfast's Casement Park and Everton's Bramley-Moore Doc

Interestingly enough, due to sponsorship rights and agreements, many of the sponsor names on stadiums have not been included in the bid. That means the Aviva Stadium, known to locals as Lansdowne Road, is called 'Dublin Arena' on the bid. According to Sky Sports, here are the 10 stadiums listed:

• Wembley Stadium
• National Stadium of Wales (Principality Stadium, Cardiff)
• Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
• Etihad Stadium
• Everton Stadium
• St James' Park
• Villa Park
• Hampden Park
• Dublin Arena
• Casement Park (Belfast)

Old Trafford, Croke Park, London Stadium [West Ham's ground] and Sunderland's Stadium of Light were all dropped off the original list of 14 venues.

Manchester United's ground - the second largest in the UK - is the biggest omission from the list after they initially spoke to the Football Association before opting to withdraw.

A statement from the club said: "Manchester United were pleased to put Old Trafford forward as a potential host of UEFA Euro 2028 matches and proud of the strong case we made.

"However, during follow-up discussions with the FA, it became clear that we were unable to provide the necessary certainty around the availability of Old Trafford due to potential redevelopment of the stadium."

As well as the United Kingdom Turkey have also launched a bid to host the tournament in five years' time.

UEFA will make a final decision in September this year.
