Ireland looks set to host games at Euro 2028.

The joint-bid with the UK football associations is to be unopposed.

Two stadiums on the island are to be used as part of the tournament.

Lansdowne Road will be renamed the Dublin Arena for the competition while the yet-to-be redeveloped Casement Park in Belfast will also be used.

Stadiums in England, Scotland, and Wales are also to host games.

When the bid was formally submitted a plan suggested Euro 2028 would raise €3 euro for the island's economy - while there are plans to invest €50 million in soccer here.

Dublin was due to host games at Euro 2020 - which was held in 2021 because of the pandemic - but the games had to be moved due to restrictions.

It's unknown yet whether host countries would automatically qualify for the finals.

The tournament is expected to be the highest attended European Championships ever.
