Prime Minister Rishi Sunak celebrated the United Kingdom being named as hosts of the 2028 European Championship with Ireland by visiting England's footballers at St. George's Park on Tuesday.
Sandwiched between Three Lions captain Harry Kane and manager Gareth Southgate, Sunak posed for photos holding a No. 28 England sweater.
"We have a chance to do that all over again for lots more people just like we did last year with the Lionesses . England were training ahead of Friday's friendly against Australia at Wembley. They will also host Italy in a Euro qualifier next Tuesday."Obviously the four as well, and all the different stadiums and different atmosphere, it's a real buzz," West Ham forward Jerrod Bowen told reporters at St. George's.
England and Everton keeper Jordan Pickford said it was a "proud moment" for his club, who will host games at their new stadium in Liverpool.
