England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland have announced a joint bid to host Euro 2028, and will drop proposals to stage the 2030 World Cup.

The five football associations have come to a collective decision after what the FA called “an extensive feasibility study” based on the economic impact, the political football landscape and likely costs of hosting the tournament – and with a UEFA deadline of March 23 to submit applications looming fast.

In making the decision, the five nations have jointly agreed not to bid for the 2030 World Cup, an aim which was included in the Conservatives’ 2019 election manifesto but which was felt had an increasingly slim chance of success.
