The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to help ensure that hosting UEFA EURO 2028 supports communities.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

Football reaches communities like nothing else. The department is working with partners to develop the largest-ever UEFA EURO Community Programme, backed by a social impact fund of around £45 million, which will ensure the impact supports communities far beyond the tournament itself. Plans for the programme and fund are in development, and more details will be shared in due course.
