A British and Irish bid for Euro 2028 is reportedly set for a free run to success with all other competitors dropping out.
Earlier this year the joint football associations of England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland sounded their intentions of pulling out of World Cup 2030 to focus on the continental bid.
It would mean UEFA's competition returning to the country, likely at Hampden Park after it was used in Euro 2020.
The SFA have indicated Euro 2028 could be used as a means to redevelop the national stadium.
And the Daily Mail say all other 2028 would-be hosts are standing aside or being ruled out to give the united bid a free run.
It's claimed Turkey will withdraw after failing in 2016 and 2024 while a Russian bid is now a non-starter after their invasion of Ukraine.
Italy confirmed last month they would instead look to host the championships in 2032.
And so if the five home nation FAs do run unopposed it would speed up the process far earlier than a planned September 2023 announcement.
It's also claimed UEFA are receptive to an unopposed bid given the current conflict within its borders and with member associations struggling financially after the Covid-19 pandemic.
SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell previously said: "The stadium piece is an important one for us, there's no doubt about that, and we need to look at exactly what hosting a Euro in 2028 can bring in terms of the development of Hampden.
"We are very much focused on developing Hampden and we need to engage with the Scottish Government primarily to see what hosting a Euro can help with in that regard."
