The closing date for bids to host Euro 2028 is today and there are no rival bids so it looks like a formality that UEFA will appoint the only bidders, UK and Ireland as the hosts.
5 Hosts Nations is excessive, why have the UK included Ireland? I think it will be better with them included but I would not have expected them to be added to a UK bid. Probably because European countries like Ireland so if it came to a vote we would still have a chance
Is it a sign that we may possibly a move to 32 teams with 5 hosts?
Who gets the final? Wembley again would be a bit schit especially after the disaster they had last year. I expect it to be but it's a once in a lifetime opportunity for one of the other countries.
This will hopefully lead to the promised Hampden redevelopment.
If it stays at 24 teams / 11 venues, what should the split be?

Wonder how the two automatic qualifying hosts are decided?
Wee 5 team league, or a mini tournament?
Not sure how the tournament would work given there's five teams 😂

How can there be no other bids? Something smells there, but I'm not complaining.

Russia was the other bidder.
UEFA have confirmed as well that this will be a 32 team Euros with only 2 hosts qualifying automatically.

Aaah! My mistake.

Good question. Ireland will qualify directly of course. The other three will have to play a mini tournament.

Turkey going for 2032 now
Well the simplest way would be to choose the two lowest ranked teams qualify as hosts and expect the other three to get there via qualifying.
So both Ireland's atm. Although in 6 years that might be 1 team.
