UEFA announce venues for EURO 2028 tournament

With the confirmation of the EURO 2028 opening game taking place in Cardiff and both semi-finals and final at Wembley Stadium, betting odds may favor teams with historical performances at these venues, particularly considering Italy's past success in the tournament.

The tournament is co-hosted by England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland.

There are 24 teams who can qualify for the competition and Italy hope to be among them, especially as they lifted the trophy in 2021. That was the EURO 2020 event, delayed by a year due to the global pandemic, and Italy beat England in the Final at Wembley Stadium.

The Final will be there again in 2028, along with both semi-final matches.

EURO 2028 Final will be at Wembley Stadium
