Where Will The Next Euros Be Held?

With the World Cup at an end, it’s time to look ahead.

While we’ve been discussing where the next World Cup will be held, there’s another major tournament just around the corner which could see a change of fate for England. Although the Nations League approaches, the Euros could have massive stakes for the nation’s future in the sport. 

Scheduled for 2028, the Euros will be co-hosted across England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland. A range of major stadiums have been selected across those countries, and so it’s time to preview some of the brilliant constructions ahead of the first matches. 

Hampden Park - Scotland 

Opened in 1903, Hampden Park in Glasgow has a truly impressive history, with the original stadium built back in 1873. Boasting a capacity of just shy of 52,000, the build is known for its unusual seating structure, translucent roof and bowl design that catered to the valley terrain. 

Principality Stadium - Wales 

Principality Stadium, based in Cardiff, was built in 1999 to host the Rugby World Cup. With a capacity of nearly 74,000, the construction features a retractable roof and tailored acoustic design. It is perhaps best known for its four iconic masts, which stand at an incredible 90 meters.

Aviva Stadium - Republic of Ireland 

Opening in Dublin in 2010, Aviva Stadium seats nearly 52,000 people and has become famous for its sustainable infrastructure. With a wavelike design and transparent surfaces, the stadium is an architectural powerhouse defined by elite engineering that utilises a continuous steel truss system to avoid the need for columns. 

Etihad Stadium - England 

Built in 2002 to host the Commonwealth Games, Etihad Stadium in Manchester seats at least 61,000 and has plenty of groundbreaking construction details to dissect. Its entertainment campus is a thing to behold, but the standout feature is the suspension-bridge roof, which is detached from the main stadium and held by a web of cables. 

Matches will also be held at Wembley Stadium. To find out about the iconic stadium’s build, read more at Fix Radio.
