About UK & Ireland 2028 Ltd

Contested every four years, the UEFA European Championship has been showcasing the continent’s top talent since its inception in 1960 and is the world’s third largest sporting event.

UEFA EURO 2028 is taking place across the UK & Ireland where Europe's top 24 national teams will compete in a 31-day, 51 match tournament, attended by over 3 million spectators and with a global tv audience of upwards of 2 billion people.

As one of the world's largest and highest-profile sporting events, UEFA EURO 2028 will attract the attention of the sporting and major event communities, the media, and the public at large across the UK& Ireland, Europe and the World. With its unique hosting model, the event promises to spread the impacts and benefits of the tournament across the nations and communities of the UK and Ireland.

Culture

Our people is what matters most.

We embrace diversity, treating everyone fairly and respectfully. We work hard, striving for excellence in everything we do, whilst having fun along the way! Working on a major event like EURO doesn't get much bigger, if you're passionate about delivering world class events in a first class team, come and join us.

We offer a competitive salary (plus benefits of 25 days holiday, contributory pension scheme, Private Medical Insurance, Life assurance plus more), which coupled with the opportunity to be part of one of the biggest sporting events to ever take place across UK & Ireland we think makes for an exciting place to be!

Our head office is based at the iconic Wembley Stadium in London, however depending on your role you may be required to travel across the UK and Ireland to our 9 Stadiums and 8 Host Cities, with some roles being based in those locations.

As an event delivery organisation, it’s important that we have regular time together in the office and currently employees come together at least 2 days a week at HQ in Wembley, with the number of days in HQ increasing as the project develops with a minimum of 3-4 days needed in 2026-2027 and full time in the year of 2028.

We have identified specific measures that we (as UK & Ireland 2028 Limited) will implement over the lifetime of our organisation in order to reach our objectives. These measures are captured in our Diversity & Inclusion Action Plan, which has been reviewed and approved by our Board and will be updated annually.
