England has one of the best football teams in the world and with the emergence of young superstars like Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham, the nation should be excited about its international prospects. They almost won their first trophy already in 2021 when they narrowly missed out on the UEFA Euros 2021.
England reached the final of the tournament after several incredible performances from the team. They were playing against Italy but the game ended in a draw, sending it to extra time and subsequently, a penalty shootout. Unfortunately, England’s trio of Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, and Bukayo Saka missed their penalties to lose the match and the tournament.
Now, they’ll get a chance to redeem themselves in the World Cup in Qatar in 2022, but they might have an opportunity to win a trophy at home too.

The statement from all five associations
The statement talked about the financial benefits of hosting the tournament and also about the cultural impact a tournament of this stature would have on the UK’s local communities. The associations promised a unique collaboration between all five of them and promised a great experience for everyone involved.
“Hosting a UEFA EURO offers a similar return on investment, with the European tournament carrying a far lower delivery cost and the potential of the benefits being realised sooner. It would be an honour and a privilege to collectively host UEFA EURO 2028 and to welcome all of Europe,” they added.
