The €1.5m ‘saved’ from Ireland’s abandoned hosting of Euro 2020 will go towards the €11m required for Dublin to become a host city for Euro 2028.

Dublin City Council Councillors agreed at their monthly meeting to financially support the tilt at winning the bid to co-host the tournament with England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
