No change in European Cup final venue

THE ORGANISERS of the Heineken European Cup are to press ahead with the final in Dublin.

ERC chiefs said they will stick with their strategy of announcing the final venue in advance of the tournament. That was, and continues to be, a strategic ambition supported by all stakeholder nations, spokesman Diarmuid Murphy said.

“The prime reasoning behind the on-going ERC policy of selecting and announcing the venue for the final before the start of the tournament is to build a major European sporting event, allowing ERC and their tournament and broadcasting partners the necessary time to create the stage all concerned believe the final deserves.
