Ireland's path to automatic slot at Euro 2028 outlined by Uefa

Dublin’s Aviva Stadium is set to host four group games and two knockout games, including a quarter-final as it stands, but will likely absorb one of the matches scheduled for Casement Park before the unfinished Belfast GAA venue was eliminated by Uefa.

Uefa have confirmed their draw procedure for Euro 2028, ringfencing two slots for the four co-hosts across UK and Ireland.

England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland will participate in regulation qualifying but if they don’t reach the 24-team showpiece on playing merit, two backdoor slots are available to non-qualifiers.
