England and Ireland will host EURO 2028.
On October 10, the European Football Federation (UEFA) announced that the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland will co-host EURO 2028, while Italy and Türkiye will co-host the tournament in 2032. This decision was made following a UEFA meeting in Switzerland.
Türkiye withdrew last week from its bid to host EURO 2028, paving the way for England and Ireland, who have abandoned their plans to host the 2030 World Cup in order to focus on hosting the European Championship.
FIFA announced last week that Morocco, Portugal, and Spain will host the 2030 World Cup, but some matches will also be held in Uruguay, Argentina, and Paraguay as the world's biggest football tournament celebrates its 100th anniversary. Saudi Arabia subsequently revealed plans to bid for the 2034 World Cup.
Six of the proposed venues for EURO 2028 are in England, with two stadiums in London and others in Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Birmingham. Belfast, Dublin, Glasgow, and Cardiff are also on the list of possible venues for the tournament.
Binh Thuan Club requests to withdraw from the First Division due to lack of funding.
On October 10th, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Binh Thuan Province sent a letter to the Vietnam Football Federation and VPF requesting to withdraw from the First Division. The letter stated: “Due to the very short preparation time for the new season and the fact that the project to socialize Binh Thuan Football Club into a joint-stock football company model has not yet been approved, and there are some difficulties, especially regarding funding, the club requests to withdraw from the First Division and move down to the Second Division.”
Before the official request to withdraw from the First Division, a petition from 18 players of Binh Thuan Club appeared on social media, accusing the team's manager of failing to pay the team their season-long bonuses and repeatedly cutting their meal allowances.
It is very regrettable that Binh Thuan Club has withdrawn from the First Division. Because in the past season, despite being newly promoted, Coach Nguyen Minh Dung's team played very well to finish in 5th place.
