Last updated 12th Apr 2023
The UK & Ireland's final bid to host Euro 2028 has been submitted with Hampden Park on the shortlist of 10 host arenas.
Six stadiums in England, along with one each from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland has been proposed.
Two unbuilt stadiums, Belfast's Casement Park and Everton's Bramley-Moore Dock, will stage games.
The other grounds selected are Cardiff's Principality Stadium, Dublin's Aviva Stadium and English Venues Wembley, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, St James' Park, Villa Park and the Etihad Stadium.
Fourteen stadiums were originally on the shortlist but four have been cut, including Old Trafford, Manchester United's home.
A rival bid will come from Turkey, who are making their sixth straight attempt to host the competition.
Biggest Euro ever
"High-capacity, world-famous football grounds and state-of-the-art new venues will provide the platform for the biggest and most commercially successful Euros ever - making us a low risk, high reward host," said an Scottish FA statement.
The five associations have promised that almost three million tickets will be available to games - more than any previous European Championship.
The nations have also made sustainability pledges and stated that hosting the tournament will generate over £2.6billion in socio-economic benefits.
How likely is success?
The bid is the current favourite to be selected.
However, England were heavily criticised for their hosting of the Euro 2020 final stages.
A review into disorder at the Wembley-held final, found "ticketless, drunken and drugged-up thugs" could have caused death as they stormed the stadium.
The decision on who will host the 2028 edition is expected to be made by UEFA's Executive Committee in September this year.
UEFA want all work on potential host stadiums to begin by at least the summer of 2024, four years before the proposed start date.
