A total of 14 stadiums have been included in the bid by the FAI and its English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish counterparts to host Euro 2028 - with that number to be whittled down to just 10 next April.
The five associations on Wednesday morning submitted their Preliminary Bid Dossier to UEFA, setting out their vision for the tournament under the banner - ‘Football for all. Football for good. Football for the future’.
This key development comes 24 hours after the government gave the green light to the Irish side of the bid, which sports minister Jack Chambers claimed could cost up to €135m, but would bring in around €361m to the Irish economy.
The 14 stadiums listed in the Preliminary Bid Dossier are:
Villa Park (Birmingham), Everton Stadium (Liverpool), London Stadium, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Wembley Stadium (all London), City of Manchester Stadium, Old Trafford (both Manchester), St James’ Park (Newcastle), Stadium of Light (Sunderland), Aviva Stadium/Dublin Arena, Croke Park (both Dublin), Casement Park (Belfast), Hampden Park (Glasgow), Principality Stadium (Cardiff).
