Bringing Euro 2028 to the UK will be a chance to celebrate our unique football heritage – but this bid is different, too

BRINGING the Euros to the UK and Ireland in 2028 will be a wonderful chance to celebrate our unique football heritage.

But we’re not just repeating past glories.

This bid is different.

It is bringing one of the world’s greatest sporting events to every part of our United Kingdom and to Ireland too.

With three million tickets available, this will be the biggest Euros tournament yet, lifting everyone’s spirits and giving a massive shot in the arm to the economy.

This tournament is different because, from the very outset, we began to invest in its legacy.

The bid partners have committed more than £500million to grassroots football.

And together we’re creating an additional £45million legacy fund to make sure we capture the full benefits.

Sun readers will see new goalposts, pitches and facilities popping up around the country.

Our aim is that everyone in the UK will be an average of 15 minutes from a quality football pitch.

These are the ­places where the stars of the future will be born.

Put it in your diary: Summer 2028 — it’s coming home.
