=== Northern Ireland venueStadium ===
The inclusion of [[Casement Park]] as the Northern Irish venue due to Casement Park not currently being available due to redevelopment work, and its inclusion over [[Windsor Park]], led to [[Unionism in Ireland|Unionist]] protests. Windsor Park does not have a capacity large enough to comply with [[UEFA]] rules for hosting [[UEFA European Championship|European Championship]] matches. This led to Casement Park being included as the Northern Irish venue instead. Windsor Park, Northern Ireland's [[List of national stadiums|national football stadium]], is located in a majority unionist area, whereas Casement Park, Northern Ireland's national stadium for [[hurling]] and [[Gaelic football]], in a majority [[Irish nationalism|nationalist]] area. The stadium is named for Sir [[Roger Casement]], a British diplomat who was hanged in 1916 for his role in the [[Easter Rising]]. Protests have been held regarding the inclusion of Casement Park with the theme being that the protestors do not want to attend games at the venue, due to its history and location.<ref>https://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2023/1016/1411205-oneil-urges-ni-fans-to-get-behind-casement-park-plans/</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-10-05 |title=Casement Park delays could leave us with no stadium for Euros, warns Campbell |language=en-GB |work=BelfastTelegraph.co.uk |url=https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/casement-park-delays-could-leave-us-with-no-stadium-for-euros-warns-campbell/a1029430175.html |access-date=2023-11-09 |issn=0307-1235}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title=Will controversial Casement Park be ready for Euro 2028? |language=en-GB |work=BBC Sport |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/66992640 |access-date=2023-11-09}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-10-04 |title='We have to get our heads around' NI at Casement |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67007435 |access-date=2023-11-09 |website=BBC Sport |language=en-GB}}</ref>
