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.

Trappatoni prepares for Georgia...




'We are aiming to win. I hope the players will come back with the same spirit full determination like they had in November. I hope they haven't forgotten the work done until now.

'This will be the first match of a very important year ahead in our challenge to qualify for the 2010 World Cup.

'Georgia are strong opposition but we believe in ourselves as a team and I look forward to our fans help to give us a home advantage throughout the 90 minutes.'

Bring on the Old days!
