The derelict west Belfast GAA ground has been earmarked to host five matches in Euro 2028, being jointly hosted by the UK and Ireland.
Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill has said she remains focused on making sure Casement Park is rebuilt in time for Euro 2028.
However, the funding required to rebuild the stadium in time for the showpiece football tournament is not in place, prompting concerns that the delays will see Belfast missing out. She said: “It is still in plan A and plan A is still to deliver Casement as part of the Euros bid. I think that is crucially important and a huge opportunity not to be missed. It would be such a false economy for the British Government to sit back and allow that to pass us by.
“I am in no doubt that that is what they are looking at. Make no mistake, our budget is incredibly tight. That is the same right across the UK.”
