Birmingham to host UEFA Men’s EURO 2028
Birmingham’s onto a winner in the UEFA Men’s EURO 2028, with Villa Park confirmed to host four major matches.
The city will be gearing up to welcome international fans, global media, and heightened attention as it showcases its status as a worldclass sporting destination. For Brummies far and wide, this is a moment of pride, putting this city front and centre on the international stage.
It will also drive demand across hospitality, retail, and transport, while demonstrating Birmingham’s infrastructure, connectivity, and capacity to host major events.

It would mean two landmark sporting occasions for Birmingham and its residents .
