Uk and Ireland awarded Euro 2028

The rumours were that UEFA had guaranteed us Euro 2028 if we withdrew our bid for the 2030 World Cup.

That's not changed.

Italy have designs on 2032 - Turkey I think have as good a chance as UK of getting 2028. It will be interesting to see which way UEFA go.

Disagree.
I'm 99% certain it's going to the UK and Ireland.

But at least it would remove any controversy about automatic qualification, as I'm sure all 5 national teams would be able to qualify in a 32 team Euros.

They don't announce the hosts of both Euro 2028 and 2032 until September 2023.

Ok I misread the OPs initial post as "official announcement later this week". He just meant our bid announcement I guess.

Well that gives 18 months for parties to go through the process. If you suggest there has been some kind of "backdoor agreement" to giving it to UK for withdrawing from the WC 2028 then I assume UEFA will communicate this to Turkey so they don't waste too much time and money putting together their bid.

I only mentioned three stadiums in England and did say there were many others than would want to be considered. I would feel it would go on regions i.e if Spurs got one I don't feel like Arsenal would and so on around the country.

I think you're right, I can't see three London stadiums being used, they'd want to spread it across the UK.
 
I used to think it would be great for us to get another major tournament after 2012 Olympics and Euro 96, but after last year’s Euro final fiasco am not so sure now.

It was a few daft lads getting out of hand. They won't get near again.

What's wrong in the Riverside putting a bid in.

It would have been an official announcement in the next few weeks if Turkey (and Russia) hadn't decided to make a bid out of nowhere on the last day of the deadline, as it was originally unopposed

I assume the Russia bid will rightly be thrown out and ignored, but they've got to go through due process with Turkey, so what should have taken a few weeks will now take well over a year.
