The GAA remain “hopeful” that a new Casement Park will make the shortlist of 10 stadiums next April for the Euro 2028 bid, although it remains unclear whether or not the venue will meet UEFA requirements.
Should work start on the much-delayed project next summer, the GAA believe that games could be played at the West Belfast stadium as early as late 2025.
The capacity for the new stadium is 34,500 - but only 26,000 will be seated as the South Stand will be terraced.
