Casement Park in line for major overhaul - 40,000 all seater Stadium.

Turkey the only other competitor per RTE

So casement park is the only NI venue in the 2028 bid

Nowhere else big enough, seems you need at least 33,000 seats.

Casement would be the least stadium on the list by a large margin, although if it ever gets built and is brand new it might be decent enough.

At least Everton have started theirs..

The 4 countries plus the occupied territories can't all get automatic qualification if the bid succeeds.

There was talks of expanding euros to 32 but that seems to be now cancelled and they stay with 24

I would say it's just a  matter of time until it's 32  teams .

And I'm not sure  if it's happening in 2026 , but I think they are planning a 48 team  World Cup.

Madness

Casement better off not getting selected.

The GAWA would have the place wrecked not to mention the street battles before and after the game

Never any street battles when Cliftonville go to Linfield (lately)

Jamie Bryson not happy that Linfields home stadium not selected.

[weareros]

Getting cut to 10 so Casement Park likely to miss out. UEFA likely to only offer two automatic places, so expect England and Ireland to get those.

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

A new low fir Casement

[Wildweasel74]

I think a starting point would be having a actual stadium in place.

Perhaps there are some in Qatar that will not be needed, you could just dissemble it and ship it over.

The difference in volume of fans involved would be significantly different

Absolutely. Those protestants be up to no good as usual
