Central Council have given the green light for SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh to host a women’s Euro 2025 qualifier against France on July 16.

The Ballintemple venue will host the League A Group A3 game following an approach by the FAI as the Aviva Stadium is not available due to pitch renovations and Tallaght Stadium could be unavailable due to Shamrock Rovers’ Champions League first-round tie.
