Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings has been named among the Euro 2028 board of directors tasked with organising the showpiece event.
The tournament will be co-hosted by England, the Republic of Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, and Mings will join the board of UK & Ireland 2028 Limited, the company responsible for the local delivery of UEFA Euro 2028, effective immediately.
The 32-year-old will undertake his new role alongside his playing duties at Villa, who are vying for a top four finish in the Premier League and meet PSG in the Champions League quarter-final in April.
Debbie Hewitt MBE has been confirmed as Chair of the UK & Ireland 2028 Board for #EURO2028.
She will be joined by three independent non-executive directors – Susan Ahern SC, Tyrone Mings and Alan Stewart. 👏

Mings, who began his senior playing career playing in non-league for the likes of Chippenham Town and Yate Town, was part of the England squad that finished runners-up at the Euros in 2021.
He has been a Villa player since 2019 and, alongside John McGinn, is one of just two players remaining from the team that won promotion from the Championship that same year. Mings has made 18 appearances for the Three Lions.
Mings will sit alongside three independent non-executive directors who will assist in organising the tournament alongside the Football Associations of each host nation.
He will work with Debbie Hewitt, chair of the UK & Ireland 2028 board, barrister Susan Aherne, who specialises in sports law, and Alan Stewart, a former chief financial officer at Tesco and Marks & Spencer.
A statement regarding the appointments read: “These appointments demonstrate the strong professional expertise and track record of success across the partnership to deliver large-scale major event projects.
“This includes wide-ranging corporate and senior management experience spanning international football and other sports, commerce, law and retail.
“The inaugural board meeting will take place on 28 March at the National Stadium of Wales, in Cardiff.”
