Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Ireland have submitted a joint Expression of Interest (EOI) to host the European Championship in 2028, the countries' Football Associations said on Wednesday. Britain and Ireland had last month announced plans for a bid to host the tournament after dropping plans to bid for the 2030 World Cup following a feasibility study.

"Over the coming months, we will develop our proposals further, subject to the publication by UEFA of the full technical specification.
