Newcastle United’s St James’ Park will be one of the 10 host stadiums at the 2028 European Championships.
The United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland have been successful in a bid to host the Euro 2028 tournament. St James’ Park is one of four current Premier League stadiums that have been selected as venues for the tournament.
Hampden Park in Scotland, Casement Park in Northern Ireland, the Aviva Stadium in the Republic of Ireland and Principality Stadium complete the 10 host stadium roster for the tournament.
Manchester United’s Old Trafford, Liverpool’s Anfield and Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium are among the largest in England but none have been selected as host venues for the tournament.
Magpies CEO Darren Eales reacted to Newcastle’s successful host city bid as he commented on the club website: “Newcastle is a special city with football at the heart of its community from Newcastle United to grassroots clubs.
“To have UEFA Euro 2028 games in our city is exciting not only for football fans but for the economy, businesses and the entire regio
“To be awarded the status as a host city is the result of great collaboration between the football club and Newcastle City Council along with great support from North of Tyne Combined Authority, all playing key roles in delivering this achievement for the North East.”
