Back at the Principality Stadium?

Re: Back at the Principality Stadium?

If they want to go forward with this, then they have to learn from the Spain game.

At CCMB everyone knows their place (stand) and the atmosphere it generates. For the Spain game people were scattered all over the stadium, there was no atmosphere, because there was no Canton stand equivalent.

The FAW need to nominate where in the Mill Stadium (Principality, whatever), the usual 25k-33k should sit/stand. Keep the Red Wall members together and try and generate the atmosphere from there.

Canton = North stand

This is the most important part.

I think moving to the Principality Stadium is the correct thing to do, to maximise the revenue coming into the FAW, which hopefully then gets re-invested in grassroots football.

Wales aren't going to challenge deep into the competition so atleast milk it for every penny.

I didn’t realise that Norn Ireland are not considered a host nation. Assuming England finish top of their group then the best two of Wales, Scotland & Ireland will qualify. There are scenarios we’re, 2, 3 or all 4 hosts qualify.

Not the case anymore. They scrapped that idea.

We ALL have to qualify for Euro 2028 and there will be no places given to host nations.

Sorry but you’re wrong. The qualification process was ratified in May.

As in the current 2024-26 European Qualifiers, twelve qualifying groups will be formed of four or five teams. Hosts England, Republic of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales will also participate in qualifying, drawn into separate groups.

The 12 group winners and 8 best runners-up (20 teams) will advance directly to the EURO 2028 final tournament.

Two spots in the final tournament will be reserved for the two best ranked host nations who are not qualified as group winners or best runners-up after the completion of the qualifying group stage.

The remaining spots will be assigned via play-offs between the remaining runners-up in the qualifying groups and the best ranked 2026-27 UEFA Nations League non-qualified group winners.

Depending on the number of spots used by the host nations, the number of final tournament spots decided by play-offs may vary between two and four, in one of the three following scenarios:

• Both reserved qualifying slots for the hosts used: Eight teams compete in two paths for two final tournament spots, with single-leg semi-finals and finals.

• One reserved qualifying slot for the hosts used: Twelve teams compete in three paths for three final tournament spots, with single-leg semi-finals and finals.

• No reserved qualifying slot for the hosts used: Eight teams contest four home-and-away play-off ties, with the winners advancing to the final tournament.
