The trend of reaching friendly agreements to pick hosts of the Olympics or major soccer tournaments without a contested vote has continued in Europe.
The trend of reaching friendly agreements to pick hosts of the Olympics or major soccer tournaments without a contested vote has continued in Europe. European soccer body UEFA made winners of all seven of its member federations who were competing to be future hosts of the European Championship in 2028 and 2032. The four member nations of Britain will co-host with Ireland in 2028 and an unusual Italy-Turkey plan was picked for 2032. The five neighboring UEFA member federations of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Ireland were long favored to win for 2028. Euro 2024 will be played in Germany alone in an increasingly rare example of a single host nation.
