Cardiff’s Principality Stadium will host the opening match of Euro 2028, while London’s Wembley Stadium will stage the semi-finals and final, UEFA confirmed at the tournament’s official launch in London. The 24-team championship will be played across nine venues in four nations — England, Scotland, Wales, and the Republic of Ireland — after Belfast’s Casement Park was dropped due to funding issues.

Football Association of Wales chief executive Noel Mooney called it a “historic moment” for Welsh football, marking the first time Wales will host a major international tournament. He said the event would unite communities, inspire young players, and showcase Welsh culture on a global stage.

The quarter-finals will be shared among Cardiff, Dublin, Glasgow, and Wembley, while other English venues include Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Villa Park, Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium, and St James’ Park. The qualifying draw will take place in Belfast in December 2026, with organizers pledging to deliver the “best-ever” European Championship.
