The prospect of the UK and Republic of Ireland hosting Euro 2028 appears highly likely following the official withdrawal of the Turkish FA from the bidding process.

Turkey has decided to shift its focus towards co-hosting the tournament with Italy in 2032, and this joint proposal has received UEFA's approval, as announced in July.

With Turkey no longer competing for the 2028 hosting rights, the UK and Republic of Ireland's bid is now unopposed.

While Wembley Stadium did host the semi-finals and final of the delayed 2020 European Championship, it's worth noting that the UK has not hosted an entire major tournament since 1996.

Both bids will require official approval at a meeting of UEFA's executive committee on Tuesday. An official statement from UEFA read: "The presentations at that meeting will be an important part of the process, which will take due consideration of the content of the bid submissions before reaching a decision."

Pending approval, Euro 2028 will be jointly hosted by the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The list of proposed stadiums includes well-known venues such as Wembley Stadium and Hampden Park, along with the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

Additionally, plans feature the yet-to-be-constructed Bramley Moore Dock stadium in Liverpool and Casement Park in Belfast.
