The opportunity for hometown glory exists for three members of the United Kingdom at Euro 2028. The international tournament is being co-hosted by England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland, making it the first time since 2020 that the competition will be staged in various countries. Nine stadiums have been selected to stage the tournament, but there will be no part to play for Old Trafford and Anfield. The iconic homes of Manchester United and Liverpool have been left off the list.

The Theatre of Dreams was withdrawn from the venue selection process and the Merseyside venue's pitch does not meet UEFA’s guidelines. Express Sport takes a look at the UK's venues for the international tournament.
