Government Announces Decision to Not Fund Ireland’s Bid for Euro 2028
In a shocking move, the Irish government has revealed that they will not be providing funding for Ireland’s bid to host the European Football Championship, Euro 2028. This announcement comes as a massive blow to the country’s football fans and the football association, as the event was seen as a massive opportunity to boost the economy and put Ireland on the map.
The decision was made after a meeting between the Minister for Sport, Jack Chambers, and the CEO of the Football Association of Ireland (FAI), Jonathan Hill. The meeting was said to have been tense, with the Minister reportedly expressing concerns over the financial viability of the bid.
"This was not an easy decision to make, but ultimately, we have to be responsible with taxpayer’s money," said Minister Chambers. "While we are passionate about football and would love to host the tournament, we cannot justify the financial burden on the country."
The news has sent shockwaves throughout the football world, with many fans and pundits left reeling by the announcement. The FAI has already begun the process of informing UEFA of their decision, and it is likely that the governing body will begin the process of selecting a new host country in the coming weeks.
This decision is a major setback for Irish football, as hosting the tournament would have brought in an estimated €300 million in revenue for the country. The event would have also provided a significant boost to the local economy, with thousands of jobs created in the lead-up to the tournament.
Fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment and anger at the news, with many calling for the government to reconsider their decision. "This is a disaster for Irish football," said one fan. "We deserved better than this."

Took a while for it to show up on this subreddit lol. Northern Ireland left with none of the money promised to Casement or City deals making headlines in NI and Ireland and doesn’t even make the news in the UK. Classic.
If ever there was a waste of time and money, it’s football.
