Dublin City Councillors have signed off on a bid to host the UEFA European Football Championship in 2028.
Four games in the 2020 Euros were due to be played in Dublin but they were moved to St Petersburg and Wembley due to the Covid-19 situation at the time in Ireland. The new bid would see Dublin host six games of the iconic football competition at a cost of €11 million to the council.
The second biggest international football competition in the world would bring an estimated gross spend of €513 million into the country's economy, according to accountancy firm Deloitte. Around 90,000 fans would come to the competition from outside Ireland and the UK.
