UEFA has set up a Human Rights Advisory Board for Euro 2028, this body is expected to provide oversight and give guidance on the planning and delivery of the tournament that will be hosted by England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

The board is expected to provide constructive dialogue, external supervision⁠, and specialist guidance on identifying, preventing and mitigating human ​rights risks ‌linked to the tournament.

This board will be similar in its functionality to Human Rights Advisory boards established for Euro 2024 and Women’s Euro 2025.

“The Human Rights ‌Advisory Board brings valuable independent perspectives and constructive challenge, helping us stay proactive as preparations progress and ensuring ‌our commitments translate into meaningful ​action,” said UEFA vice-president and board chair Laura ⁠McAllister.
