The UK government have announced they will not fund the £400million rebuild of Casement Park, one of the stadiums set to host Euro 2028. The UK and Ireland are set to host the next edition of the European Football Championships, with UEFA officially confirming their successful bid in October last year.

The government says it will no longer fund the redevelopment of Casement Park in Belfast for Euro 2028 because costs have spiralled and "almost no progress" has been made so far

JUST a matter of hours after First Minister Michelle O’Neill spoke at a North South Ministerial meeting warning that “time was ticking” on

The UK government had promised to help fund the upgrade but Northern Ireland secretary Hilary Benn said in a letter to the region’s communities minister Gordon Lyons that building costs had risen “dramatically” from £180mn when the bid was won “to potentially over £400mn” now.

EURO 2028 has encountered serious obstacles in implementing the scheduled timeline. The British government has announced that it is withdrawing funding for one of the stadiums, which will significantly alter the organisers' plans.
