Casement Park redevelopment chiefs are hinging on the next UK government providing the necessary funding for the project. 

The Northern Ireland-based stadium remains derelict four years before it is due to host five matches at Euro 2028. 

An Ulster GAA spokesperson said: “Following our joint letter with the Irish FA (Football Association) to the UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, we have had confirmation that details of government funding will not be made available until after the UK Parliament elections on July 4.

“To keep this global and transformational opportunity alive, we are now urgently calling on the Northern Ireland Executive to collectively discuss the opportunities that Euro 2028 will create for our society, and the reputational, economic and sporting risk of losing this global event.

“We are also calling for the procurement tender documents to be released without further delay to ensure the project development remains within UEFA timelines.”
