European football’s governing body have now approved the joint-bid from the UK and Ireland, who presented a proposal which included 10 stadiums to host the tournament.
Everton’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, which is expected to be completed late in 2024, has been selected as one of the venues, but neither the Emirates (Arsenal), London Stadium (West Ham), Old Trafford (Manchester United) or Anfield (Liverpool) are included.
