Two spots reserved for hosts unable to qualify for Euro 2028, confirms UEFA

Julian Nagelsmann has signed a contract extension to remain Germany coach until the end of Euro 2028, the German FA (DFB) announced Friday.
Nagelsmann said his experience at <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/euros-2024">Euro 2024</a>, hosted by Germany, convinced him to stay on for both the 2026 World Cup and the Euros two years later.
"We are on the right path and it is not over yet. We want to continue to develop. We want to win titles," the 37-year-old said in a statement.
Nagelsmann signed the extension in Leipzig on Friday as part of the DFB's 125-year anniversary celebrations.
The former <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/bayern-munich">Bayern Munich</a> and RB Leipzig coach took over in 2023, initially on a short-term basis for Euro 2024.
In April 2024, shortly before the tournament, Nagelsmann extended his deal to include the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
Now, he will also remain in charge Euro 2028, to be hosted by Britain and Ireland.
The second youngest men's head coach in Germany history, Nagelsmann took over after a difficult period for the four-time World Cup winners.

Germany were eliminated at the group stage of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups and were beaten by England in the last 16 of Euro 2020.
<a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/hansi-flick">Hansi Flick</a> became the first coach to be sacked in the national team's history after the World Cup in Qatar.
At club level, Nagelsmann became the youngest coach in Bundesliga history when he took over Hoffenheim aged 28 in 2016, before moving to RB Leipzig three years later.
He then signed with Bayern Munich and won the Bundesliga in 2021-22, before he was surprisingly fired in March 2023.
Germany showed signs of a revival under Nagelsmann at Euro 2024, winning their group before losing in extra time to eventual champions Spain in the quarter-finals.
"Our goal was a successful tournament, but I could not have imagined back then what the national team means to Germany, how many hearts it reaches and people it moves," Nagelsmann said.
In the Nations League, Germany are through to the knockout phase for the first time and face Italy in a two-legged quarter-final in March.
Nagelsmann's extension ends rumours the in-demand coach was set for a return to club football after the 2026 World Cup.
It also means Jurgen Klopp will have to wait for the job he has long been linked with following his departure from Liverpool last year.
DFB president Bernd Neuendorf said Nagelsmann's desire to stay on was a "significant signal" for the future of the game in Germany.

Julian Nagelsmann signs contract extension with Germany; set to coach till end of Euro 2028

European football's governing body UEFA said Tuesday it had abandoned plans to re-admit Russian under-17 teams into the youth European Championship next year.

In September, UEFA reinstated Russian youth teams to its competitions, having suspended the country's senior sides due to the invasion of Ukraine.

UEFA argued that youth players should not have to pay the price for the actions of adults.

That decision sparked anger in Kyiv, which said in response it would boycott all UEFA competitions featuring Russian teams.

But UEFA now says it was too difficult logistically to reintegrate Russian under-17 teams and the issue was removed from the agenda of a meeting of the body's Executive Committee.

"The agenda point was withdrawn as no technical solution to allow Russian teams to play could be found," UEFA said.

Kyiv thanked UEFA for scrapping the plans and promised to "fight for the continuation of the isolation" of Russia.

"We thank our European partners for supporting Ukraine," Ukraine's football association said in a statement.

FIFA, world football's governing body, followed in UEFA's footsteps earlier this month by announcing it too would reinstate Russia's under-17 teams.

FIFA did not immediately comment when asked for its response following UEFA's decision to scrap its plans.

Euro 2028 will be the third time England will be part of the hosts, having hosted the tournament in 1996 when Germany beat the Czech Republic in the final while also playing co-host to the 2020 showpiece (in 2021), in which Italy beat England on penalties.

As things stand, there are nine proposed cities to host the matches of the continental showpiece including matches in Belfast, Dublin, London, and Newcastle. London could see two venues on offer with Wembley likely to host the final while Tottenham Hotspur’s home ground is another stadium in line to host the matches.

“Congratulations to Italy and Türkiye, co-hosts of #EURO2032! The joint bidders presented 20 potential host stadiums, of which 10 will be chosen, five per country, by October 2026,” a UEFA statement read.

The news comes days after FIFA confirmed hosts for the 2030 World Cup with six nations playing host for the tournament. This includes Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Spain, Portugal, and Morocco as the tournament takes place in three continents.

Football: UEFA confirms Britain as sole bidder for EURO 2028; Turkey, Italy to bid for 2032 edition

Turkey is the only rival to the UK and Ireland candidacy to host the 2028 European Championship, UEFA announced on Wednesday after receiving final bids from interested countries.

European football's governing body said that Turkey would go up against the joint bid from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland to host Euro 2028 and that Turkey is also a candidate to host Euro 2032.

Italy is the only other bidder for the hosting rights to the 2032 tournament.

"In the forthcoming months, the UEFA administration will evaluate each of the bids, with the UEFA Executive Committee to vote on who has won the right to host both editions in October," the body said in a statement.

The British and Irish joint bid for Euro 2028 is the favourite after the countries abandoned plans to run for the 2030 World Cup.

Wembley, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Newcastle's St James' Park, Birmingham's Villa Park and Everton's new stadium in Liverpool would host matches in England, as would Manchester City's Etihad Stadium.

The Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Hampden Park in Glasgow, Dublin's Lansdowne Road and Casement Park in Belfast are the other venues being proposed in the bid.

The English, Scottish, Welsh, Northern Irish and Irish football associations said in a joint statement: "High-capacity, world-famous football grounds and state-of-the-art new venues will provide the platform for the biggest and most commercially successful UEFA EURO ever –- making us a low risk, high reward host."

The bid carries the slogan "Football for all, football for good, football for the future", and says more than 80 percent of ticket-holders would be able to travel to matches by public transport.

It also predicts benefits of up to £2.6 billion ($3.25 billion) for the nations involved.

England and Scotland hosted 12 games during Euro 2020, which took place across Europe in 2021 after a delay caused by the pandemic.

Fan violence marred the Wembley final, won by Italy, but UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has played down fears the disorder would affect England's chances of hosting major events.

Turkey is hoping for success this time after losing out to Germany in the bidding to host Euro 2024.

Istanbul's Ataturk Olympic Stadium will host this year's Champions League final on June 10.

Italy, the reigning European champions, have hosted the Euro twice before, in 1968 and 1980.

Rome's Stadio Olimpico was also used as a venue at Euro 2020.

The 2028 and 2032 tournaments will feature 24 teams.

Russia had initially declared an interest last year in hosting one of the two tournaments but UEFA announced last May that it would not consider any bid from the Russian Football Union.

That was after Russian clubs and national teams were suspended from all UEFA competitions due to the war in Ukraine.
