"We are incredibly proud that our city will play such an important role in delivering what will be the best-ever EURO - one that celebrates passion, inclusivity and the power of football to bring people together,"
"It's a real privilege to host the qualifying draw for Uefa Euro 2028 - a key milestone in what promises to be a memorable, world class tournament,"
"We'll welcome UEFA's leadership, national associations and teams to Belfast, giving them the chance to experience everything our city and ICC Belfast have to offer."
"It's fantastic news for Belfast, for Northern Ireland and for football across these islands."
England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland will host UEFA Euro 2028, with the opening match set for Cardiff and matches across England, Scotland and the Republic. Northern Ireland will not host tournament matches, but the qualifying draw for Euro 2028 will take place in Belfast on 6 December 2026 at ICC Belfast. Casement Park was originally listed as a potential venue but was withdrawn after the UK government declined funding for redevelopment in time for the tournament. The Irish Football Association described hosting the draw as a proud moment and expects to welcome UEFA leadership and national associations to Belfast.
