    I wonder where the final will be. Let me guess, in a suburb miles out of town. Why do England have to be involved?

    They may as well play every Euro Final (men and women) there from now on - why not let England host alternate World Cups while they’re at it as well.

    England will bring 6 stadiums to the table ( and could do more )

    They will. But we've heard from all sorts of fans that loved seeing FA Cup finals in Cardiff. You have to admit that it's pretty special to be in the center of town, drinking in a pub and walking to the ground.

    I know, imagine having 250 licenced premises within a mile, probably less…..Wembley is so soulless

    While I dont disagree, it has to be said Wembley has the prestige, it was always a icon in football stadia, as a youngster on the streets of Armenia you might dream of playing in Wembley, not soo much the " principality stadium in Wales "

    I went down to Wembley for the Ladies FC cup final, the area around it is very nice now, well developed, yes with Chain Bars and Cafes, but its been done very well

    London also has all the sights for the visitors, its got a very decent efficient underground, when UEFA bring the 5000 guests, where are they likely to want to go ? ? shopping in designer shops, see Buck House, be dined in numerous fancy Michelin stared restaurant

    How on earth can Wembley be presumably pretty much guaranteed it after what happened just two years ago?

    Get used to it, the Welsh public are soft and weak. I can imagine there would be protests and riots in the streets if any other country had to pay for a neighbours transport project with no benefit to them whatsoever. Embarrassing really but that's Wales in a nutshell when it comes to these things.

    Back on euro28, it would be a great outcome for Wales if we can host the opening match and it should be a semi final, Wembley butchered the last final it had so it's lucky to even be considered, let alone get both semi finals as well.

    Casement Park in Belfast is an interesting one, given its history. I was talking to a mate from Belfast last night. He used to live within 3 minutes of the ground and used to watch GAA there with his Dad. He couldn't believe it might host international football, but is determined to re-visit if it does. Be interesting to see if they manage to rise to all the funding and other challenges.

    Does anyone actually know the answer to this? Have they said?
    Surely they cannot allow all 5 to pre-qualify?

    Reporter on 5Live said he asked UEFA today and they said all home nations would need to qualify. But it was far from a proper announcement. Official statements on the award of the tournament and the qualifying rules are expected in October apparently.

    I don’t think it’s been confirmed yet. The last I saw, it sounded like the top 2 or 3 teams based on ranking would automatically qualify and the others would be entered in to the qualifying groups as normal.

    No idea if that’s what they’ll end up with.

    Will be a kick in the teeth if we are hosting and don’t qualify.
    Has that happened before?

    What a joke international football has become.

    Re: Euro 2028 coming to Wales

    I'm sure uefa will want the final played at Wembley as it's the biggest stadium but both semis should be played elsewhere and not in England.

    I'd make England play their group games away from Wembley too - Azerbaijan is nice I hear.
