"England's men will kick off their Euro 2028 campaign at the Etihad Stadium, assuming they achieve the relative formality of qualification for a tournament staged across most of the United Kingdom and in the Republic of Ireland. Manchester City's home has not hosted an England men's game since May 2016, when Turkey were beaten 2-1 in a friendly, but looks certain to welcome the national team for their first match on Saturday 10 June 2028."
"The tournament was launched at an event in Piccadilly Circus on Wednesday night. Senior figures from Uefa and the host FAs were barracked as they arrived at the venue by about 50 pro-Palestine demonstrators, who called for Israel to be kicked out of international football because of the Gaza crisis. Banners were held up with slogans reading Show Israel the red card and You are complicit, while protesters chanted: Kick Israel out."
England will begin Euro 2028 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday 10 June 2028, contingent on qualification. Manchester City's Etihad last hosted England in May 2016. England will play their final two group matches at Wembley; winning Group B sends them to St James' Park for the last 16, while finishing second leads to a last-16 tie at Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium. The tournament opens at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Friday 9 June, with Wembley hosting both semi-finals and the final on Sunday 9 July at 5pm. Host-nation fixtures include matches at Dublin Arena and Hampden Park, and two automatic host spots are reserved if needed.
