Dublin would continue hosting an annual college football game through 2037 under a plan awaiting formal approval in the Irish capital, organisers have told The Associated Press.

The “Week 0” game in Dublin has become a fixture on the college football calendar and typically attracts well over 20,000 fans traveling from the United States in a boost for Irish tourism.
