A small window of opportunity has opened up to find the money to rebuild Casement Park in time for Euro 2028.
Now that Euro 2024 is over, the organiser Uefa will turn its attention to Euro 2028 and the potential for matches to be played in Belfast.
The Labour administration has listened to the requests for a large financial contribution and is now trying to work out what it can afford.UEFA is waiting, looking at its watch and wanting an answer.Plans have been in place to build a new stadium at Casement Park since 2011. Casement Park was to be primarily used for GAA games but it was also one of the 10 venues in the UK and Ireland chosen to host matches in the Euro 2028 soccer tournament.
Uefa is monitoring the situation closely as the wait continues for building work to begin on the planned 34,500-capacity stadium.Local residents had lodged a legal challenge over objections to the stadium's size - they said it would block out light from local homes and cause serious traffic disruption.
