The FAI have formally expressed their intention to bid for the right to host the 2028 European Championships along with the four ‘home nations.’
The English, Scottish, Welsh and Irish FAs will bid for the tournament, which may be expanded to 32 teams for the first time.
A feasibility study undertaken by the five associations recommended a bid for the Euros over the original plan to host the World Cup in 2030, which will likely now take place in Africa.
