A rival stadium will host the games instead.
Liverpool’s Anfield will not host any matches during Euro 2028, even though the city itself has been named one of the tournament’s hosts.
UEFA has confirmed nine venues across the UK and Ireland, including Wembley, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium, which will stage five matches.
Despite Anfield’s recent redevelopment and increased capacity of over 61,000, it failed to meet UEFA’s strict pitch-size requirements.
The governing body mandates that all Euro host stadiums must have a pitch measuring 105 metres by 68 metres, but Anfield’s playing surface is only 101 metres long.
This shortfall has also prevented it from hosting European finals such as the Champions League or Europa League.
Anfield last featured in a major international tournament during Euro 1996, when it staged group games and a quarter-final.
Everton’s new 52,769-seater ground will instead represent Merseyside, with officials promising to showcase the city’s famous football culture and hospitality.
Liverpool mayor Steve Rotheram said the region is proud to help deliver ‘the best-ever Euro’ and celebrate the unifying spirit of the sport.
