Football is coming to its ‘real’ home as Dublin set to host major tournament final

This will be a special night.

You can just picture it, 51,700 spectators crammed into Dublin's Aviva Stadium, the flood lights on and two of the finest teams in Europe playing on Irish soil. The Irish capital will be hosting the 2024 Europa League final after the four Euro 2020 games that were set to be there, had to be moved.
Organisers Uefa said the decision to host the final at Dublin's Aviva Stadium was part of a "settlement agreement".
This will prove to be a silver lining for Ireland missing out on this summer's international tournament, and who knows, maybe it will be an Irish side playing in it. Okay, that's maybe a bit far fetched, but exciting news nonetheless!
