UEFA EURO 2028 - impacts and legacy: island communities impact assessment (ICIA)

4. Step Four – Assessment

4.1 Does your assessment identify any unique impacts on island communities?

Through assessing available evidence, it can be understood that each island community has differing factors such as location, population density, transport and connectivity, and available infrastructure. However, in the context of EURO 2028 impact and legacy and the community-led delivery model, we would not expect there to be any unique impacts on or between island communities at this stage.

4.2 Does your assessment identify any potential barriers or wider impacts?

We are aware that island communities face unique challenges like location, population density, transport and connectivity, and available infrastructure.

4.3 How will you address these?

The impact and legacy programme in Scotland will take a community-led approach. We would expect the programme to be flexible across communities, utilising local expertise to ensure that activities and approaches are relevant to where they are delivered.

4.4 Is the policy likely to have a significantly different effect on an island community?

At this stage, it is not considered that the EURO 2028 impact and legacy programme is likely to have an effect on island communities that is significantly different from its effect on other communities. As such, a full ICIA is not required, and the assessment proceeds to Step Six.
