The FA don't want England to automatic qualify for Euro 2028 after UEFA confirmed the UK and the Republic of Ireland as joint hosts.
The FA do not want England to automatically qualify for Euro 2028 even though they have been confirmed as joint hosts for the tournament.Host nations are typically awarded automatic qualification for the tournament. But with five countries staging matches, and only 24 teams taking part in the tournament, questions have been raised over whether to allow all the host nations automatic qualification.
If three or four host nations fail to make it, the 'best' two teams would be awarded automatic spots. It is currently unclear how UEFA plans to determine who is deemed 'best' if more than two nations fail to qualify. There is the possibility that if England finish the qualification stage with less points than several other co-hosts who also fail to qualify out of their group, they could miss out on the tournament.
However, if the automatic spots are determined by UEFA's coefficient rankings, England are likely to be safe due to their position as one of the strongest teams in Europe.It is claimed that England want to go through the formal qualification process to prepare better for the tournament. "This is because they think it would provide the team with better preparation for the tournament than a series of friendlies," wrote BBC reporter Dan Roan.
