It's definitely coming home

Excellent news.

The days of one host nation may die with next years German tournament. Next World Cup is obviously across 3 countries, and the one after will either be across 4 South American countries or 2 continents (Spain, Portugal, Morocco).

Looking forward to the 2034 World Cup at Israel/Palestine and Iran

And Old Trafford is unlikely to be a venue they use despite it being the second biggest.

Cheers Glazers you absolute vermin.

I wonder where the final will be....

Weird having EU and non EU countries hosting together but ok

It’s not weirder than inviting Israel into European competition

Yeah. Israel couldn't be in Asia though, for obvious reasons, so only option left is Europe.

is it though?

I do think tournaments miss something when not in one country - Italia 90, USA 94, Euro 96, France 98 - fine tournaments

Peaceful WC....No aggros from English hooligans...Brotherhood of men

All shaking hands and respecting each other.....

Oh wait did you 2034? d'oh I thought you said 3034!

I'll be honest I'd much prefer England to just have it alone. We all know most grounds used would be in England (with token representation elsewhere) and Wembley will be used for both semi finals and final.

We are going to win it DJ

Final would def be at Wembley, but im sure Cardiff certainly, and one of Dublin, and Glasgow/Edinburgh would host the semis at least.

I think Dublin would get 3 group games a last 16 and quarter final

It’s grate news

Northern Ireland still hasn't got a stadium to host a game. The proposed stadium still hasn't been built nor got agreement from all parties to host it, in fact it hasn't even been started.

Toor ...
I've seen a shower of gobshys on different forums going ballistic that the roi are getting a few games ..and also potentially casement Park being developed ..

The anti Irish bias in Northern Ireland is just pathetic ...its 2023 lads ..not 1690. .

Why can't we host a few games ...

It has nothing to do with those people if RoI host games. It was a joint bid, so...they'll host games.

In terms of Casement Park...well I kind of see the point, they'd prefer Windsor to host but it simply isn't capable. The other point being, there is no Casement Park. It's been in the pipeline for years and still appears to be no progress. It's currently an eyesore. However if it gets up and running and meets the requirements then it's the only option so those people should pipe down when getting a major tournament on their doorstep which will be a historic event for the country.
