Answer from Hansard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport (Stephanie Peacock)
This Government know that football reaches people like nothing else, and in the summer of 2028 it will bring people together across the whole of the UK. I was pleased to chair a meeting of sport Ministers a few weeks ago to discuss the tournament and its legacy. Glasgow is of course due to host five matches at the tournament, which will bring significant benefits.
