The UK and Ireland are poised to host Euro 2028 with their bid now unopposed due to Turkey’s withdrawal. The joint bid between England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland, which was up against Turkey ahead of next week’s Uefa announcement, will secure hosting rights subject to final approval from the governing body’s executive committee. Turkey will now join forces with Italy to host Euro 2032 instead, with Germany the hosts for next year’s Euro 2024. Uefa officials are yet to confirm how the hosts would qualify for Euro 2028, with discussions over the prospect of teams participating in qualification to secure competitive preparation for the tournament. However some teams could still qualify even if knocked out. The Independent reported in July that Uefa were unlikely to grant all five nations a place in the 24-team tournament. While Uefa sees benefits to the joint bid in terms of commercial potential and most of the infrastructure already in place, the number of teams hosting brings an unprecedented element. Issues related to sporting integrity as regards qualification may now emerge, with Uefa likely to award a maximum of three guaranteed places. The anticipated expansion of the tournament to 32 teams is not expected to happen until 2032. The prospect of a mini-tournament before qualification officially starts is thought to be on the table. While the Independent understands there is a very minor possibility the tournament could have just four hosts if Northern Ireland's planned stadium of Casement Park in Belfast isn't reconstructed in time. But that isn't currently seen as a challenge, given five years until the competition. There is no confirmation on who would host the final, though Wembley Stadium would seem the likely favourite, meaning a second European final in three editions of the competition. England lost to Italy in the final of Euro 2020 at Wembley, which took place in 2021 after its postponement due to Covid. Wembley is one of 14 venues across the five countries to have been shortlisted in the bid, with nine English stadia in total, two in the Republic of Ireland and one each in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The inclusion of Casement Park, a Gaelic sports venue which is in the process of being redeveloped, means Belfast is set to host matches should it remain when the final list of 10 stadia is submitted to Uefa in April. The nine English stadia include three in London – Wembley, the London Stadium and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Old Trafford and the Etihad Stadium are on the provisional list, as are Newcastle’s St James’ Park and Sunderland’s Stadium of Light. Everton’s new ground at Bramley-Moore Dock is on the shortlist, as is Villa Park in Birmingham. The Aviva Stadium and Croke Park are the shortlisted venues in Dublin, while the Principality Stadium in Cardiff and Hampden Park in Glasgow complete the list. Gareth Bale was due to help the bid by joining a Welsh delegation in Geneva this month. The legendary winger, who is Wales' most capped player and record goalscorer, retired from football in January, but the 34-year-old offered to help Wales secure joint-hosting rights. Football Association of Wales chief executive Noel Mooney said: “We are hoping for a successful bid and Gareth is very much part of the FAW and what we do. He has been identified as one of the faces of the bid presentation. Gareth is globally famous. You can get into a taxi in Sydney or Peru and if you mention you are from Wales they will say ‘Gareth Bale’. It is an instant reaction. “When I go home to the west of Ireland the first thing people say to me is ‘how is Gareth Bale?’ Gareth is so good for us. We went to him and asked him if he would get involved in the Euro ’28 bid and he just said: ‘What can I do for Wales?’ It was instant – ‘how can I help you get the bid over the line?'” Turkey now looks set to host the major tournament in 2032, eight years after falling short in the race to host Euro 2024, with Germany outpointing them 12-4 in the voting. The Uefa Executive Committee will officially appoint host associations on 10 October at the governing body’s headquarters, the House of European Football, in Nyon, Switzerland.

A beauty pageant was cut short over the weekend after a furious husband jumped on stage and smashed the winner's crown. Miss Gay Mato Grosso 2023, an 'LGBTQIAP+' pageant in Brazil, came to a halt on Saturday (27 May) when Emannuelly Belini was crowned the winner. Footage showed Belini leaning over in disbelief when her name was announced, but before the tiara was placed on her head, a man grabbed it from the host and threw it on the ground. Local media outlet Globo claim it was the runner-up's husband. Pageant coordinator Malone Haenisch has since spoken out and said the man "did not consider the result to be fair and caused all this inconvenience and damage." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter "We vehemently condemn the incident that occurred at the time of the crowning of the elected Miss Várzea Grande," she told the publication. "When the partner of Miss Cuiabá, who was classified in second place, invaded the stage and aggressively destroyed the crown," she continued. However, Haenisch said the judges were fair, adding: "We confirm the pageant jury’s choice and we sympathise with the elected Miss, as well as [Becker], as she is not responsible for the crazy attitudes of third parties." It comes after Daniela Arroyo González made history earlier this year as the first transgender woman to compete for the title of Miss Universe Puerto Rico. Taking to Instagram to celebrate the good news back in February, González said: "The emotion and pride that I feel in this moment overwhelms me with joy." "Having the courage to dream big and follow your heart always leads us to success or in the best case it leads us to change the world to a better one." "It's time to show how far we can go," she concluded at the end: "This is my time." Have your say in our news democracy.

The new men’s Premier League season is about to kick off – and that means fantasy football enthusiasts will be making the final tweaks to their teams in the hope of earning early bragging rights over their friends and colleagues. But for many, the real competition starts well before the actual football begins (and no, not with those pointless pre-season “tournaments”). Picking a good team name is an art unto itself. Will you go for the funny, the shocking or the clever? Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Perhaps you’ll make a play on one of your favourite player’s names from yesteryear, or maybe you’ll stubbornly reference your mid-table League 1 team, despite the fact they will almost certainly not play in the Premier League any time soon. Or maybe you're that one person who just hasn't got any imagination, and go for some variation on "Your Mum". Hopefully, you're not that person. To help inspire those who haven’t yet picked a name, here are some of the creative, hilarious, and downright stupid names that have already been taken. Show Me Da Mane Allardyce Lost Teenage Mutant Ninja Skrtels Haven't Jota Clue Botman & Robin Obviously 'Big' Sam Allardyce isn't managing a team right now, after seeing Leeds United go down to the Championship at the end of last season. But that doesn't really matter, right? Oh, and Martin Skrtel hasn't made an appearance in the Premier League since 2016 when he was a Liverpool player. Good work by the Reds fan who came up with that rather outdated one. Here are a few more: The Wizard of Ozil Guns ’N Moses Lady Yaya Absolutely Fabregas Neville Wears Prada Seems like fantasy football fans are hell-bent on using the names of old players in their teams. Here are some more: Alisson Wonderland Lord of the Ings Obi Wan-Bissaka Backstreet Moyes Haalandaise Sauce Okay, we're getting better. At least all of those players and managers are actually still going to be involved in the action at the start of this season. The curtain raiser on the 2023/24 Premier League is Burnley versus Manchester City. The rest of the weekend sees big games like Chelsea versus Liverpool and European hopefuls Brentford versus Tottenham Hotspur, both on Sunday. So if you haven't already thought of your hilarious team name, it's time to get your skates on. Have your say in our news democracy.
