Uncertainty remains and Windsor Park is not an option
The joint Ireland-Britain Euro 28 bid will proceed even if the Casement Park rebuild isn't completed in time.
However, there is uncertainty over when Casement Park, the IFA's nominated match venue, will be rebuilt. With the executive still not up and running, uncertainty remains and Windsor Park is not an option as its 18,000 capacity is 12,000 short of UEFA requirements. "We're just hopeful they can get it over the line and get whatever arrangement to host matches in Northern Ireland."If, for whatever reason, Casement Park is not built you would still want them part of the bid. In a tournament sometimes you do other things other than hosting matches.The FAI's Jonathan Hill is to meet virtually with the other home nations CEOs, including Mooney, who is keen that the Cardiff City hosts the opening game if the bid is successful.
