Euro 2028 Stadiums


This news is months old.

Villas numbers are based on an expansion they intend to complete before then.

Evertons numbers are based on them finishing their new stadium.

Old Trafford was not on the list as their owners could not commit to if any redevelopment would occurs and/or if it would be completed in time.

Anfield isn't on the list cos it's pitch size does not meet UEFA requirements.

Etc etc.

There is a back up list of stadiums too in case something unplanned occurs. If I recall correctly the SoL was originally on that list.
 
I don’t think it’s just the matter of the stadium but the whole surrounding in general. Then factor in it’s evident the stadiums selected are spread out to cover many parts of the country. Then it’s really down to us and them up the Rd up here who gets the pick and if we are all honest from a neutral point of view Newcastle has way more to offer. The capacity is bigger, the surrounding area has a lot more on offer and for those wanting accommodation etc then it’s a no brainer. Yes is a sickener, but if we are being honest we can’t really complain. And no I’m not a mag before anyone suggests so.

Yeh accomodation in n around sunderland is pitiful in comparison.

Holiday inn, hilton, roker n seaburn(x2) hotel, 2 x prem in and ermmmm.

Not a lot of beds that.

In comparison to our neighbours if you do some research will see as sarcastic as you are trying to be, you are indeed incorrect. Go on have a look and you will see. I am right by the way

Mate i use digs allover the country and occasionally sunderland, occasionally newcastle.
Without even having a look i can tell you now sland has about 8 ‘hotels’ in n around the city, excluding bnbs etc, newcastle 30 minimum.
I think you’ve thought im taking the piss when im in full agreement with you 😂

I think we've seen from the concerts that event organisers arent arsed about how nice the surrounding areas are. Its probably just capacity.

If you think about something like this though its likely 2 away teams so 48,000 folk needing a bed for the night or travel onwards. Unfortunately lightyears behind them on both factors.

A short metro ride away from plenty hotels..and we're on the back up list so if it was that big a problem we wouldnt be on that list.
 
Well done for using “stadiums” instead of that awful other word.

Ground?

Stadium of Light isn’t on the list because of the bias the FA has against the North East and particularly Sunderland and a reluctance to use it for a big football tournament. It’s ok for the Lionesses and a meaningless friendly against a team known more for Rugby and Cricket than for football and nations know more for chocolate. Just not for a significant football tournament.

If the Anfield pitch doesn't meet UEFA requirements his come they play their UEFA competitions there?
