The United Kingdom and Ireland will host Euro 2028 after being left as the only bidders for the competition.

Turkey were another nation in the running to host the UEFA tournament, but they pulled their candidacy to pursue another bid.

Instead, Turkey will co-host the 2032 tournament with Italy, with the release of this official statement: "Further to the announcement on 28 July which revealed the desire of the Italian and Turkish FAs to submit a joint bid to stage UEFA EURO 2032, the UEFA administration has today written to both associations to confirm that their joint bid has been duly received and will go forward for assessment and consideration by the UEFA Executive Committee.

"As indicated by the FA of Trkiye with its submission of the request for a joint bid, their bid to stage UEFA EURO 2028 is consequently withdrawn.

"The award of both tournaments still requires the approval of the Executive Committee at its meeting in Nyon on 10 October. 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."

As for the Euro 2028 tournament, England will be hoping to finally break their duck at European Championships on home turf.
