'Inspire a whole new generation' - reaction​

It is predicted that the tournament will generate up to £2.6m (3 billion euros) in cumulative socio-economic benefits for the UK and Ireland with the aim of improving grassroots facilities.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak: "I grew up with Euro '96 being one of the most amazing memories of my childhood. And we have a chance to do that all over again for lots more people just like we did last year with the Lionesses. We host tournaments better than anyone else. It's going to be a massive boost for the economy. We're going to welcome millions of people to the country, and it's going to inspire a whole new generation."

Wales First Minister Mark Drakeford: "Fantastic to hear that Wales will host Uefa Euro 2028 matches following the successful joint UK and Ireland bid. Together, we'll deliver an unforgettable and spectacular tournament - showcasing the best Cymru has to offer."

Scotland First Minister Humza Yousaf: "Football is Scotland's national game and a powerful force for good in communities right across the country. Hosting the Euros in Scotland will provide a range of opportunities, not only through the economic benefits of visiting fans but through a strong legacy programme that will help grow a more inclusive and diverse game right across the country."

Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Leo Varadkar: "I am over the moon that Ireland and the UK will co-host Euro 2028. Congratulations to FA Ireland and all involved in winning the bid. It will be the biggest event ever hosted by our two islands working together."

Hosting the Euros in Scotland? Someone needs to tell him that the UK and Ireland are hosting the Euros. Scotland will get a handful of games, played in Glasgow.
