The UK and Ireland have been confirmed by UEFA as the hosts for Euro 2028.
Mail Sport reported last week how they were set to win the hosting rights after rivals Turkey decided to pull out of the bidding process to focus on Euro 2032.
And a formal decision for the event was taken on Tuesday in Nyon, Switzerland, after the five-nation bid made a presentation to UEFA's executive committee.
The UK and Ireland focused on a Euro 2028 bid, with UEFA's approval, when they ended a plan to be Europe's preferred candidate for the 2030 World Cup.
