Denmark and 
Sweden – After the two nations failed to receive the 2025 hosting rights with Finland and Norway, the president of the Swedish Football Association, Fredrik Reinfeldt said they would look into potentially bidding in the future. [5] On 8 February, before the 2024 UEFA Congress in Paris, Denmark and Sweden expressed an interest in hosting the event. [6] [7] The four Nordic countries planned to bid again, but after the evaluation report for 2025 stated the likelihood of winning would increase with only two hosts, Denmark and Sweden decided to pair up.

[10] [11] On 24 April 2024, Denmark and Sweden decided against bringing Norway into the bid. [12] However, after UEFA's requirements came out, problems regarding Denmark's stadiums rose due to the lack of stadiums meeting capacity requirements.
