GAA president Jarlath Burns has confirmed the association nominated SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh to the Government as the alternative venue for the five Euro 2028 games that were to be played in Casement Park.

Burns prefaced his remarks by insisting it’s a decision for UEFA where those fixtures will be reassigned. However, he has been heartened by the support for the switch by Tánaiste Micheál Martin and Minister for Sport Thomas Byrne.
