Euro 2028 will be one of the biggest and most loved football tournaments. It’ll begin on June 9 and conclude on July 9. This tournament will be held in nine host stadiums across England, Wales, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland. Join us for 51 exciting games as 24 nations battle to become the next world champion! Hampden Park in Glasgow will be the site of several important matches throughout the month-long tournament. These games will decide Scotland’s future.
The expanded Principality Stadium in Cardiff, scene of numerous European finals, would assuredly host the Euro 2028 opener. England could start their tournament at the Etihad Stadium. On paper, this tournament presents Scotland with an incredible opportunity to make it out of the group stages. Why, they might even reach the knockout stages!
Scotland’s Path to Success
And if Scotland can finish first in Group F, they’ll secure an important place in the Round of 16. That encounter will be held at Hampden Park on Monday, June 26. This match would be an important first step on the road to making deeper runs in the tournament going forward. If Scotland finish first in their group, they will go through to the Quarter-finals. That game is scheduled for Friday, June 30, at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.
Should Scotland top their group, an exhilarating test awaits. They’ll face off in a Semi-finals matchup at Wembley Stadium in London on Tuesday, July 4. All of these fixtures are opening up exciting opportunities for Scotland to demonstrate and flaunt their talent on an international stage.
Alternative Matchups for Scotland
If Scotland fails to finish first in Group F, things get murky. We’re looking forward to a great Round of 16 matchup! Then you’re in luck… because it’s happening on Tuesday 27 June, at Villa Park, Birmingham. Though varied obstacles lie ahead, this alternate matchup would still provide Scotland with the best opportunity to advance.
If Scotland were to place second in their group, they would host their Quarter-finals match at Hampden Park. Save the date for Saturday, July 1! A Semi-finals match would take place next on Wednesday, July 5, again at Wembley Stadium. The contrasting paths showcase the best potential route for Scotland as they progress through the tournament.
The Road Ahead
Now arriving at Euro 2028, energy is palpable heading into the matches awaiting. Perhaps the best part about this incredible, multi-nation event, though, is the atmosphere! The four host nations—England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland—would miss out on automatic qualification to Euro 2028. This creates an additional competitive dynamic between these countries seeking to earn a place in the tournament.
