Andorra ask permission to host Irish in Barcelona

IRELAND are bound for Barcelona in October.

The FAI have confirmed that the Andorran Football Association have written to UEFA to request that the Euro 2012 qualification match on October 7 be played in the Catalan capital.

The AFA made the request following discussions with the FAI about accommodating what is expected to be a large travelling Irish support for the game. The FAI have said that they will notify fans when UEFA make a decision.
