With less than four years to go until Euro 2028, construction work has yet to start at Casement Park as questions continue around the stadium.
Casement Park remains derelict and any building work has yet to take place despite Uefa officials visiting the site in FebruaryWalking outside the locked gates of Casement Park, it is hard to believe a major football tournament could be held at the stadium in less than four years.
However, while Ravenhill and Windsor Park have long been redeveloped, Casement remains in a state of disrepair after numerous financial, safety and legal hurdles. The GAA - the governing body of gaelic games which owns the ground - has said it will not fund any more than the £15m that it pledged to the project prior to the numerous delays.
The prospect of Northern Ireland playing football at Casement Park, which is in a predominately nationalist area of Belfast, and away from Windsor Park has been divisive amongst the fan base. After political instability in Northern Ireland, the reformed NI Executive said in May those funds would finally be released.
