The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what progress she has made in delivering the EURO 2028 programme on (a) time and (b) budget.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

The government continues to work with our football and government partners across the UK and Ireland, and with UEFA, to deliver a spectacular tournament with far-reaching social and economic benefits.

As part of the government’s Plan for Change, we are investing more than £500 million in the upcoming Spending Review period to support the delivery of world class sporting events being held in the UK over the coming years, including UEFA EURO 2028.

Regular financial updates on the budget will be provided in the lead up to the event, including via the DCMS Annual Report and Accounts.
