The FA has confirmed it will bid to host the Euro 2020 final after UEFA announced a multi-host plan for the tournament.

Wales hope to add the Millennium Stadium to the list, seeing their location as an advantage in a possible British/Irish hub. Jonathan Ford, chief executive of the Football Association of Wales, said: "This rules us very much in. We now have to see how this can work on a logistical basis. "If we are part of a hub including Glasgow, Dublin and an English city this could be very exciting." Ford also believes Wembley is the current favourite for the final. He added: "I think they will take that to one of the major, major stadiums and Wembley is today's first choice but 2020 is a long time away." The bidding process for the host cities will start in March and the final decisions will be made in the spring of 2014. Don't miss any live and exclusive football coverage this festive season.
