# Euro 2028: A Look at England, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales’ Stadiums
In 2028, Europe will host the Euro Championships for the first time in 32 years. The tournament will be held across 12 countries, including England, Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. As preparations for the tournament begin, let’s take a look at the stadiums that will be hosting the matches.
## England
### Etihad Stadium
Work is set to begin later this year on increasing the capacity of treble-winning Manchester City’s ground to almost 62,000 by 2025. The stadium is one of the largest in England and will be a great venue for the tournament.
### Everton Stadium
The Toffees’ new home at Bramley-Moore Dock is scheduled for completion late next year. Developers are working to a capacity of 52,888. The stadium will be a great addition to the tournament and will provide a great atmosphere for the matches.
### St James’ Park
St James’ Park also hosted matches at Euro 96. Newcastle are considering options to develop the stadium which might mean the capacity has increased by the time the championships begin in 2028. The stadium is one of the oldest in England and has a lot of history associated with it.
### Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Spurs’ home is the largest club stadium in London, with a capacity of over 62,000. Opened in April 2019, the stadium includes a retractable pitch with a synthetic NFL surface underneath. The stadium is one of the most modern in England and will be a great venue for the tournament.
### Wembley
England’s national stadium is widely expected to host the final, having also been the venue for the Euro 96 finale and the decisive England v Italy clash at Euro 2020. The Football Association will be working hard with the authorities to ensure there is no repeat of the chaotic scenes which surrounded that match. Wembley is celebrating its centenary this year, with the original stadium opening in 1923 for the British Empire Exhibition.
## Northern Ireland
### Casement Park
Construction on the site in the Andersonstown area of Belfast is due to get under way next year with completion by 2026. The capacity of the stadium is set to be 34,500. This will be a great addition to the tournament and will provide a great atmosphere for the matches.
## Republic of Ireland
### Aviva Stadium
The Dublin venue, which holds over 51,000 people, regularly hosts Republic of Ireland football matches and those of the Ireland rugby union team, as well as high-profile Gaelic sports. The stadium had been part of the original multi-country plans to host Euro 2020 but could not ultimately provide UEFA with the necessary assurances over minimum spectator levels amid the Covid-19 pandemic. This stadium will be a great addition to the tournament and will provide a great atmosphere for the matches.
## Scotland
### Hampden Park
Scotland’s national stadium did host matches at Euro 2020. The Scottish Football Association has also bid to stage the Champions League final in 2026 or 2027 at the stadium, which currently holds just over 50,000. However, developers have put forward proposals to upgrade the stadium and increase capacity to 65,000. This will be a great addition to the tournament and will provide a great atmosphere for the matches.
## Wales
### Principality Stadium
The Cardiff venue has hosted major European football events before, having staged the 2017 Champions League final. Set to be the second-largest venue in the tournament with a capacity of 74,500. This stadium will be a great addition to the tournament and will provide a great atmosphere for the matches.
Euro 2028 promises to be an exciting tournament with some of Europe’s best stadiums hosting matches from all 12 participating countries. With work already underway on some of these stadiums to increase their capacity and improve their infrastructure, fans can look forward to an even more thrilling experience when they attend these matches.
