Casement Park

About

Casement Park (Irish: Páirc Mhic Asmaint) was the principal Gaelic games stadium in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It is located in Andersonstown Road in the west of the city, and is named after the Irish revolutionary Roger Casement. The stadium, which has been closed since June 2013, previously had a capacity of approximately 31,500.

While previously serving as the home ground of the Antrim hurling and Gaelic football teams, it was in a state of dereliction by 2021, with redevelopment plans pending for several years. Though planning permission for the redevelopment of Casement Park was confirmed in July 2021, by March 2023, it remained closed. A combined bid to host UEFA Euro 2028, by the Republic of Ireland and England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, included a proposal to redevelop the stadium.

While, by March 2024, some demolition work had commenced, as of September 2024 it was reported that the redevelopment would not be funded or completed in time for the 2028 competition, which caused the stadium to be removed from hosting duties.
