2028 Euros will be Belfast's time to shine- O'Neill

The 2028 European Football Championships will be Belfast's time to shine, Sinn Fein vice president Michelle O'Neill has said.

There are plans to redevelop the derelict GAA stadium Casement Park, in west Belfast, to host some games in the tournament hosted by the UK and Ireland.

However there has been uncertainty over funding for the project, the estimated costs of which have spiralled to a reported £308 million (€357 million).

At the end of last month, the former Stormont economy minister Conor Murphy indicated that a final report is expected from Uefa in June after a visit by officials to Belfast over proposals to host tournament games in the city.
