UEFA have confirmed that the UK & Ireland have been joined by both Russia and Turkey in submitting bids to host Euro 2028.

The UK & Ireland had initially been expected to be the only bid for the competition, only for Russia to surprisingly throw its hat into the ring and voice an intention to host a tournament in either 2028 or 2032.

Now, UEFA have confirmed that Turkey also made a bid before the deadline on March 23.
