While England has several stadiums making the cut, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland have just one stadium each.

In Scotland, just Hampden Park will host the Euros, much like the last Covid struck competition, which saw Scotland qualify for the first time in 23 years.

Celtic Park, as a venue, would be fantastic in an international setting. The Scotland games that were played their always generated great atmospheres.

The English stadiums on the list are Wembley Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, City of Manchester Stadium (Etihad Stadium), Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, St James’ Park and Villa Park all make up the stadiums from down south.

When England hosted the final in 2021, there was mass public disorder outside of the ground. Despite an increased presence of police and security staff, Wembley Stadium was besieged by hundreds of individuals attempting to break through barriers, gates, and turnstiles to gain access to the match.

The security provisions at the stadium were greater than at any other match in the tournament.

They’ll need to get their act together if their bid for Euro 28 is accepted.
