Tottenham Hotspur Stadium included in UK & Ireland’s UEFA EURO 2028 bid

We are proud to announce our stadium has been included as one of 10 host venues for the UK & Ireland’s joint bid to host UEFA EURO 2028.

Formally submitted to UEFA today, the bid sets out our clear and compelling vision for UEFA EURO 2028: ‘Football for all. Football for good. Football for the future’.

Key to this vision is a commitment to diversity, social purpose and innovation in delivering an outstanding UEFA EURO 2028 that will create unforgettable memories in sold-out, iconic stadia in famous football cities known throughout the world.

Venues selected are representative of key cities across the UK & Ireland, including London, Cardiff, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Birmingham, Glasgow, Dublin and Belfast, all connected by direct, quick and sustainable travel links and providing an unrivalled experience for teams and fans.

Our stadium's inclusion in the bid was marked with a photocall celebrating the rich diversity, inclusivity and passion that exists amongst football fans in our city, featuring:

• Club Ambassador, Ledley King - a Londoner and Spurs legend who represented England at UEFA EURO 2004 in Portugal
• Joanne McCartney - Statutory Deputy Mayor for London and Assembly Member for Enfield and Haringey
• Mya Graham - a committee member for Spurs REACH – the Club’s supporters' group for fans from diverse and under-represented ethnic backgrounds and their allies
• Ryley Keys - an inspirational young supporter with cerebral palsy who was famously given the chance to fulfil his dream of scoring a goal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium despite once being told he would never be able to walk

UEFA EURO 2028 will achieve a strong and sustainable legacy for football and wider society, helping to drive economic growth in local communities. If the UK & Ireland bid is successful, the tournament’s arrival in London N17 will bring a further boost to one of the capital’s most deprived areas, already benefitting from circa £300m generated by events at our stadium every year.

The tournament will also provide a catalyst for transformational grassroots football development, with all Football Associations working on together on this bid committed to investing in new and upgraded sports facilities.

Following on from a ground-breaking UEFA Women’s EURO 2022, the tournament will further improve the matchday spectator experience to make football more accessible, more fan- and family-friendly and more inclusive – creating a joyful and welcoming environment for all that engages fans in a celebration well beyond the 90 minutes.

Chairman Daniel Levy said: “Our stadium’s inclusion in the UK & Ireland’s joint bid to host UEFA EURO 2028 is another landmark moment for both the Club, our new stadium and Tottenham as an area. 

“We are extremely proud to have delivered a venue in the heart of London N17 capable of staging one of the world’s greatest sporting events that, if the bid is successful, will see thousands from all over Europe descend on our neighbourhood for a celebration of our beautiful game.

“Tottenham Hotspur is delighted to give its full backing to the UK & Ireland bid, which promises to transform the game at grassroots level and provide a major economic boost across our nations.”

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is the third largest stadium to be named in the bid, alongside Wembley Stadium (London), the National Stadium of Wales (Cardiff), City of Manchester Stadium (Manchester), the new Everton Stadium (Liverpool), St James’ Park (Newcastle), Villa Park (Birmingham), Hampden Park (Glasgow), Dublin Arena (Dublin), and Casement Park (Belfast).
