England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Ireland have submitted a joint Expression of Interest to host the European Championship in 2028, the countries' Football Associations said on Wednesday.
"The governments of the UK, Ireland, Scotland and Wales have confirmed their support for the EOI submission and, given the Northern Ireland Executive is currently not meeting formally, officials there continue to observe the process closely," they said in a joint statement. "This includes engaging in discussions with possible host cities and stadia to define the optimum tournament, model and conducting a full costs and benefits analysis."
