National football federations have until March 2022 to declare their interest, with joint applications welcome from neighbouring countries.

UEFA have stipulated that any candidate must possess a “minimum of one stadium, preferably 2 stadiums, with at least 50,000 net seating capacity” with seven more at around 30-40,000.

Euro 2028 is set to take place over 51 matches and feature 24 teams, as did this year’s rescheduled Euro 2020 won by Italy.
