New Lansdowne to host 2011
UEFA (Europa) Cup Final!



“Europe’s top clubs will play out the 40th final of the UEFA Cup in Dublin in 2011. This is a significant coup, for our new stadium and for Ireland....The final will cement the reputation of the new stadium with a global audience and along with the 4 Associations’ tournament, hosted by the FAI in Dublin in 2011, will provide a huge boost to the country’s tourism industry.” - John Delaney

Clearly this is a great step in the right direction. Financially, it is a hugely important opportunity, but also in terms of profile for the country and the sport.
