Aston Villa have warned that Villa Park may be unable to host matches at Euro 2028 without improvements to local transport links in the next two years.
The club on Thursday announced plans to take the capacity of Villa Park beyond 50,000 before the end of 2027 and insist the necessary work will have minimal effect on matchday fans.
Villa also plan to enhance the area around Villa Park to generate greater revenue across the year – a vital plank of their ambitions to compete with English football’s elite for years to come.
