Aston Villa's home ground is set for a significant renovation, which will see Villa Park's capacity exceed 50,000. The Birmingham club's stadium is slated to host four matches at EURO 2028, which will be held across the United Kingdom and Ireland.

The redevelopment will span the entire upcoming season, during which the North Stand will be closed. Consequently, the team, which is likely to compete in the Champions League in the 2026/2027 season, will see its stadium capacity reduced to approximately 37,000 fans.

The "Villans" currently sit in 4th place in the Premier League table with five rounds remaining. The top five teams from England's top flight qualify for the Champions League, as reported by the AP agency.
