No green light yet for Ireland’s opening Euro 2020 qualifier

A final decision is expected early next week on the venue for Ireland’s opening Euro 2020 qualifier away to Gibraltar on March 23.

According to the FAI, the Gibraltar FA selected their Victoria Stadium as the venue for the game ahead of the Uefa deadline but it has subsequently emerged they are still in talks with Uefa about the suitability of the small venue — where Gibraltar played their Nations League games — to host Euro qualifiers.
