The FAI and IFA will be part of a joint bid with England, Scotland and Wales to host Euro 2028.

The five associations had initially commissioned a feasibility study to host the World Cup.

However, following an analysis of the economic impact, the political football landscape and likely costs involved, the alliance has opted to focus on the Euros instead, with the FAI saying in a statement: “Hosting a UEFA Euro [championship] offers a similar return on investment, with the European tournament carrying a far lower delivery cost and the potential of the benefits being realised sooner.

“It would be an honour and a privilege to collectively host UEFA Euro 2028 and to welcome all of Europe. It would also be a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate the true impact of hosting a world-class football tournament by driving positive change and leaving a lasting legacy across our communities.”

Fight!
