Man Utd and Liverpool miss out as Euro 2028 stadiums are confirmed

Manchester United and Liverpool will be without home advantage at Euro 2028 after Old Trafford and Anfield were excluded from the stadiums selected to host the tournament.

The competition will be jointly staged by England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland, with nine venues chosen across the four host nations.

According to the Daily Express⁠, Old Trafford withdrew from the selection process, while Anfield failed to meet UEFA’s pitch requirements. Wembley Stadium, with a capacity of 90,000, will host the final and remains the tournament’s biggest venue. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will also feature, hosting group-stage matches and a round-of-16 encounter.

Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, which will be known as the National Stadium of Wales during the competition, is another selected venue. Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium will make its European Championship debut in 2028, with its 61,038 capacity making it one of the tournament’s major venues.
