What are they going to call the Etihad stadium then?TelMc32 said:I see on the news last night that they’re already referring to The Aviva Stadium as The Dublin Arena. Fits in with FIFA/UEFA not allowing sponsor names, which I read recently Daniel Levy was arguing about for Spurs stadium (even though he hasn’t actually sold those naming rights yet).0 -
Still hoping the Welling/Ebbsfleet/Dartford bid wins it.3

At 25/1 you should both stick some wedge on it.kidbrookeaddick said:I know someone who has been involved in some capacity with the bid, and although we clearly have the better facilities and infrastructure to hold the event, the person I know believes that Turkey are more likely to win it for 2 reasons. Firstly, we are supposedly asking for too much money to host the tournament and secondly, our FA isn't liked very much by the international committees that agree the bids.
Would love it to be held here though but can see Turkey getting it0 -

"City of Manchester Stadium" is its sponsorless name3 -

It's now called Turkiye in order to stop bad jokes like:
If Turkey get it, will it be another winter competition, played over Christmas?0 -
If that’s the standard of jokes then it’s probably for the best!jimmymelrose said:It's now called Turkiye in order to stop bad jokes like:

Looks as though our bid is going to be unopposed
Instead Turkey are going to combine forces with Italy and go for Euro 20324 -
Exciting news. Will be nice to have a tournament here as an England fan that doesn’t have all the logistics of travelling abroad for an entire month to see the games.3

Turkey and Italy is a ridiculous combination. There's a massive distance between the countries.5 - Sponsored links:

Germany will be the last of the one country tournaments IMO. Especially with World Cups being expanded, and most likely Euros too by the time we get to 2028.

I'd love to see that bid win now they've dropped Ukraine and added Morocco.

Would expect they’d put a half of the draw in each country, so that fans don’t have to go between them too often.0 -
Geographically that makes more sense, but surely Morocco can't host an UEFA event as an AFCON country?Callumcafc said:ForeverAddickted said:

Should submit a London bid. Go as far out as MK Dons and Brighton only. Use Twickers and tell everyone else to fuck off!
Only joking btw.

Can understand why countries are clubbing together, splitting costs etc, like Italy/Turkey for this, Spain/Portugal/Morocco for the World Cup etc, but it does feel like we're maybe losing the tournaments have a bit of a unique feel to them based on the counties they're in.

True but with expanded tournaments these days, i think the multi-country hosts thing is here to stay.North Lower Neil said:Can understand why countries are clubbing together, splitting costs etc, like Italy/Turkey for this, Spain/Portugal/Morocco for the World Cup etc, but it does feel like we're maybe losing the tournaments have a bit of a unique feel to them based on the counties they're in.0 -
Yeah I think so too, can understand why countries don't want to try and hold 100 matches in a World Cup.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

What surprised me about Anfield is the Eufa will not consider it because it is only 105 metres in length, 4 metres 13 ft short of their minimum length!North Lower Neil said:
Old Trafford is showing it's age badly - the Glazers haven't dug into their dividends to modernise it much, the Etihad is newer etcCallumcafc said:
So Old Trafford, Stadium of Light, London Stadium and Croke Park are dropped from the shortlist of 14.ForeverAddickted said:
Old Trafford is surprising but the others make sense.
Same for Everton's new ground I guess, Anfield is creaking a bit.
If you'd have said 10 years ago though that we'd have a bid and not include Old Trafford, Anfield or the Emirates it would have sounded crazy.
I'll try and find the source of this.0 -
I assume UEFA won't allow all 5 host nations to qualify automatically?
If that's the case then (no disrespect to NI) adding in a stadium in Belfast, that isn't even built yet and will have a capacity less than 35k seems a bit pointless.0 -

There is a suggestion that all five host nations will be required to go through qualifying, with two “reserve” spots being held for the best two hosts that don’t qualify automatically.Chris_from_Sidcup said:I assume UEFA won't allow all 5 host nations to qualify automatically?
If that's the case then (no disrespect to NI) adding in a stadium in Belfast, that isn't even built yet and will have a capacity less than 35k seems a bit pointless.
So if England, Scotland and Ireland all made it through the usual path then Wales and N.Ireland would get the reserve spots. If none of them made it through qualifying, then only two host nations would be involved via the reserve spots.0 -
Can’t see any way that this could go wrong…0

But it won’t really, will it. With the way the seedings work, England will get an easy group again and probably only one other country who may be competitive.Callumcafc said:Can’t see any way that this could go wrong…I get the reasoning though. Playing friendlies, even if you get them against the top nations in their spare game slots, will never truly rest you in the build up to a tournament.1
